Frank Turner - The Fastest Way Back Home lyrics

rate me

I should have seen you were coming, I should have been prepared.<br />

After all, getting half of what you wish for isn't so rare.<br />

But still I wasn't ready, you took my by surprise, <br />

You brought a light to my dark like a word from the wise.<br />

We fell in love in the summer, when the skies were clear, <br />

But I'm still wearing my coat from winter last year.<br />

I need to set my house in order, confess and cover my sins.<br />

I need to make a home for you before inviting you in.<br />

Weather wears the mountains right down into the sea, <br />

So I will stand in the rain until I am clean.<br />

Rivers carve the country, a landscape shaped by a stream, <br />

So I will swim in the river as long as you need.<br />

Darling oh my darling you know that everything that I do<br />

Is to try and make me good enough for you.<br />

Darling oh my darling you know that everywhere that I go, <br />

I'm just trying to find the fastest way back home.
