I want a child that never grows And a love that I'll never get to own No slow days There's an ever-changing past Busy nights, the brightest lights You get your cake and eat it too I want to wake up to parades Neon billboards signs Where the colours never fade away It's the happiest of all memorial days Slow retreat, fast defeat If you're still alone I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home If you're still alone I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home I have been sleeping with the most The velvet sheets, the fattest sheep There's an ever blowing cold breeze It's like the planet's just for me There's so much earth There's so much ash There's so much sea If you're still alone I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home If you're still alone I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home If you're still alone I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home If you're still alone I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home I want a child that never grows And a love that I'll never get to own Those slow days There's an ever-changing path Busy nights, the brightest lights You get your cake and eat it too If you're still alone I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home If you're still alone I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home If you're still alone I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home If you're still alone I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home
