WHEN I COME BACK

I still wake up before the light

Like I’m waiting for something to happen

(instrumental)

[Verse] 1

I was young when I learned how to listen

Keep my head down, do what I’m told

They said trust what you can’t see

So I did, or at least I tried

[Verse] 2

I carried a rifle through borrowed towns

Watched good men lose their names

When it ended, I left it behind

But it never really left me

Now I don’t sleep like I used to

The night still knows me too well

I keep my eyes half open

I’m not dreaming

[Verse] 3

I came back home to familiar streets

Same faces, different space

We talk about nothing important

Like we’re scared of what’s true

Now I don’t sleep like I used to

The quiet feels heavier still

I lie awake till the morning

I’m not dreaming

I’m awake

That’s all I know

And for now

That’s enough
