I'm Coming Home

Nina Nesbitt

Shall we?
Yep
(One, two)

I'm drivin' down these old dirt roads
I see the hills up on the right
White grass, artificial ski slope
I'm speedin' by the east coast train line
And I've got a friend talkin' on the phone
He said he’d help me pass the time
I'm where the humour's dry as a bone
But it rains here every night

I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
To see the faces that I know
Been away for way too long, I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Where the trees arе always grown
Wanna see where time has gonе, I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Put the kettle on the stove
Leave a light on so they know I'm comin' home

I've got the wind in my sails
I've got the red in my cheeks
'Cause I've been runnin' from this place
Ever since seventeen
Cobble streets, evergreenness
Castles and housing schemes
That whiskey taste, out till late
See that man? He's shit-faced

Flashback, I'm seventeen in the passenger seat
You roll the windows down, 808s and Heartbreak plays
Even in this small town, we still had the biggest dreams
Always wanted somethin' more, always wanted to be seen

Still got that northern blood, I've still got a sharp-edged tongue
I hold it like a sword so everyone knows where I'm from
You take for granted all the things that one day will be gone
I should've held on for dear life when I was young

Walk through the trees, I see the green, I see the resevoir
I see the nights, I see the lights, I see my family fall apart
I know the leavin', know the feelings, know the seasons change
Things are different now, but I still feel the same

I've been around, I've seen it all
There's nowhere else I'd rather go
So won't you let them know?
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home

I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
So put the kettle on the stove
Leave the light on so they know I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Put the kettle on the stove
Leave the light on so they know I'm comin' home
