Watching you watching me
A fine way to fall asleep
The neighbors fight
As we both rest our eyes

Hands in the fallen snow;
Numb to the winter cold
But we don't mind
Cause we'll get warm inside

You're the reason I come home
You're the reason I come home, my love
You're the reason that when everything I know falls apart...
Well, you're the reason I come home

Paper doll silhouettes
Fingertips on window glass;
The street's asleep
So I breathe you in deep

The tragedies of chemistry
People dream of what you and me
Have found...
Effortlessly

You're the reason I come home
You're the reason I come home, my love
You're the reason that when everything I know falls apart...
Well, you're the reason I come home
And for a long time, I remember
Saying prayers for something perfect
Saying prayers for someone kind
It's in my head
We're spinning circles down the avenues instead

You're the reason I come home
You're the reason I come home, my love
You're the reason that when everything I know falls apart...
Well, you're the reason I come home
