I'm coming home and I don't know why
I'm coming home and I don't know why
It's 3:00 a.m. and I finished the lie
It's 3:00 a.m. and I finished the lie

I read about places I'll never see
I sing about things that I'll never be
I'm coming home and I don't know why
I'm coming home and I don't know why

I've got the same people at my door
I've got the same way of waiting for more
Though I can run, I can never escape
All of the things that will keep me the same

I'm writing stories that I'll never live
I'm making presents that I'll never give
I'm coming home and I don't know why
I'm coming home and

Wear suits and talk about the futures of all your children
Sing of serious things that kill you
And wear suits and bring your love a flower
And don't come home for hours
Smile when asked about it
I'm coming home and I don't know why
I'm coming home and I don't know why
It's 3:00 a.m. and I finished the lie
It's 3:00 a.m. and I finished

Wear suits and talk about the futures of all your children
Sing of serious things that kill you
Wear suits and bring your love a flower
Don't come home for hours
Smile when asked about it
