about

A song written with Chris DiIeso on a cold winter day in Maine. Chris and I have been playing music together since we were kids, and on said cold day, we decided why the hell not write a new tune. This is it.

lyrics

It's so good to hear your voice, despite the miles between.
Promised that I would return, a promise I mean to keep.

I was standing on top of a mountain and I looked down
All I saw was rocks and air and nothing else.
It's so odd not to feel alive right now
It's so odd to be at the pinnacle and want to be back on the ground.

Your laugh always made me feel alive
Your smile always brought the joy inside

I have climbed the highest rock in this world
I have swum in the deepest of pools.
I have see all the beauty in this life,
And still I'm coming home, coming home for you.

I was at the bottom of the ocean, the deepest of a trench
all I saw was a bunch of water, and maybe a couple of shrimp.

Your laugh always made me feel alive
Your smile always brought the joy inside

I have climbed the highest rock in this world
I have swum in the deepest of pools.
I have see all the beauty in this life,
And still I'm coming home for you.

I've got twelve planes waiting to fly me back.
I've got six trains waiting on a one-way track
I've got three buses waiting to learn their path
Here I stand with twenty-one tickets in my hand.

I have climbed the highest rock in this world
I have swum in the deepest of pools.
I have see all the beauty in this life,
And still I'm coming home for you.

I'm standing at your doorway, my heart is in my throat
I've never felt so alive, I've never felt so good.
