I got your picture on my phone
Your voice in my head
And I’m lying here alone
Restless in some faraway bed
The stars are falling down
And I’m a half a world away
I’m just trying to close the distance
To feel each breath you take
When the bridge is burning,
and I’m losing my faith
And I’m trying to find my way towards the truth
Like a wild arrow flying
And I’m blindly running
From everything that I thought I knew
and every road leads home to you
home to you
So you got me to believe
Made me turn on a dime
The writing on the wall-
right in front me
Every song every rhyme
But I don’t need 1000 words
I need you safe in my arms
I’ll be standing strong-
I’ll keep holding on
When life tries tearing us apart
When the bridge is burning,
and I’m losing my faith
And I’m trying to find my way towards the truth
Like a wild arrow flying
And I’m blindly running
From everything I thought I knew
No I ain’t regretting
Just how lost I’m getting
Or the red lights I’ve been blowing through
My foot will find the pedal
as I’m counting the lines,
Every road leads home to you
Every road leads home to you
Home,
the road still leads me home to you
Sometimes I don’t see the signs,
The headlights make me blind
the road still leads me home
to you
When the bridge is burning,
and I’m losing my faith
And I’m trying to find my way towards the truth
Like a wild arrow flying
And I’m blindly running
From everything I thought I knew
No I ain’t regretting
Just how lost I’m getting
Or the red lights I’ve been blowing through
My foot will find the pedal
as I’m counting the lines,
Every road leads home to you
Every road leads home to you
Home to you
Home to you
Home to you

Hi Teri!
ReplyDeleteI discovered your blog by searching around and I know you from posting on my JBJ page.
I did enter this contest and spent 2 hours typing up 1000 words. EGADS! It was more than just words and the photo did not do it justice.
Tomorrow, I hope to get my blog up about this and some other stuff.
Nice to meet ya!
Hi Stormy: Yes I do post on a JBJ page or two. Nice to meet you. You did the 1000 words. WOW. Can not wait to see it.
