(One, two)

I'm driving down these old dirt roads
I see the hills up on the right
White grass, artificial ski slope
I'm speeding by the east coast train line
And I've got a friend talking on the phone
He said he'd help me pass the time
I'm where the humor is dry as a bone
But it rains here every night

I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
To see the faces that I know
Been away for way too long, I'm coming home
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Where the trees are always growin'
Wanna see where time has gone, I'm coming home
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Put the kettle on the stove
Leave a light on so they know I'm coming home

I've got the wind in my sails
I've got the red in my cheeks
'Cause I've been running from this place
Ever since seventeen

Cobbled streets, evergreens
Castles and housing schemes
That whisky taste, out till late
See that man, he's shitfaced

I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
To see the faces that I know
Been away for way too long, I'm coming home
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Where the trees are always growin'
Wanna see where time has gone, I'm coming home
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Put the kettle on the stove
Leave a light on so they know I'm coming home

Flashback, I'm seventeen in the passenger seat
You roll the windows down, 808s and Heartbreak plays
Even in this small town, we still had the biggest dreams
Always wanted something more, always wanted to be seen
Still got that northern blood, I still got a sharp edged tongue
I hold it like a sword so everyone knows where I'm from
You take for granted all the things that one day will be gone
I should've held on for dear life when I was young

Walk through the trees, I see the green, I see the reservoir
I see the nights, I see the lights, I see my family fall apart
I know the leaving, know the feelings, know the seasons change
Things are different now but I still feel the same

I've been around, I've seen it all
There's nowhere else I'd rather go
So won't you let them know I'm coming home

I'm coming home, I'm coming home
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
So put the kettle on the stove
Leave a light on so they know I'm coming home
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Put the kettle on the stove
Leave a light on so they know I'm coming home
