Homecoming

Lights on the field, Friday night in the cold

Faces I knew, now a little more grown

Walking the halls like a time machine

Faded old posters and half–forgotten dreams

Homecoming, we’re back where it started

Hearts open wide, a little less guarded

Laughing at stories we swore we’d forgotten

Here with the people who made us who we are

Saw your old jacket, colours still the same

You smiled at me softly, whispered my name

Music is playing our anthem again

Suddenly seventeen feels close as a friend

And maybe we’ve all changed

But somehow it feels safe

Like history holding us

Just long enough to know

We’re never really far from home

Homecoming, we’re back where it started

Hearts open wide, a little less guarded

Laughing at stories we swore we’d forgotten

Here with the people who made us who we are

Under the bleachers, we talk until two

About what we wanted and what we’ve been through

Promise to meet here in five more years

As the night folds itself into memory and cheers

Homecoming, we’re back where it started

Hearts open wide, a little less guarded

Laughing at stories we swore we’d forgotten

Here with the people who made us who we are
