Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boots on the porch
Dust on your name tag
Kids at the window
Don’t know whether to laugh or cry
You lay the bags down
Hug feels like a lifetime
But one extra plate
Stays quiet at the table tonight
[Chorus]
We made it home
But not all of us are here
Raise up a glass
For every face that disappeared
We learned to live
With medals
Scars
And prayers
We’re coming home
To houses full of empty chairs
[Verse 2]
You flinch at the fireworks
They just hear a holiday
You see a burning sky
They just see a summer day
Dog tags in a drawer
Your thumb finds every name
You whisper
“I remember”
Like you’re calling them again (oh-oh)
[Chorus]
We made it home
But not all of us are here
Raise up a glass
For every face that disappeared
We learned to live
With medals
Scars
And prayers
We’re coming home
To houses full of empty chairs
[Bridge]
How do you say thank you
To someone who can’t hear?
How do you hold a promise
That’s heavier each year?
[Chorus]
We made it home
But not all of us are here
So light up the candles
For every voice we still can hear
We’ll learn to live
With broken hearts laid bare
We’re coming home
And carrying them everywhere
We’re coming home
To love in all these empty chairs
