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
