It's been a fun ride,
But I think it's time that I go.
Too many long nights,
Chasing what only god knows.
I stare with clear eyes and I've come to realize,
That my aim fell short, and my life's a compromise,
And I think it's time that I,
I just go home.
So come and raise me up,
From this mess I'm in,
Come and wake me up,
From my aimless wandering,
I can't carry on living life this way,
And I'm waiting now,
To hear you say,
Boy, just give this life a rest,
And just come home.
I heard you one night,
Calling me in my sleep.
I gave my best fight,
To avoid the places we'd meet,
But you're all I hear now,
And your voice is screaming out,
"Did you forget that I'm what this life is all about? You've been running for too long."
So come and raise me up,
From this mess I'm in,
Come and wake me up,
From my aimless wandering,
I can't carry on living life this way,
And I'm waiting now,
To hear you say,
Boy, just give this life a rest,
And just come home.
Why did I push away from you,
The one that I love and always knew,
Would pick me up when life would knock me down,
I was so lost, but now I'm found,
Please forgive me now.
Come and raise me up,
From this mess I'm in,
Come and wake me up,
From my aimless wandering,
I can't carry on living life this way,
And I'm ready now,
To hear you say,
Boy, just give this life a rest...
(I can't carry on living this way, oh, oh...)
So come and raise me up,
From this mess I'm in,
Come and wake me up,
From my aimless wandering,
I can't carry on living life this way,
And I'm man enough,
To hear you say,
Boy, just give this life a rest,
And just come home.
