Home
Home is a beautiful and haunting story about the ripple effect of addiction. Raw and vulnerable lyrics track a cycle of hope, disappointment and broken trust. The production is stripped back to piano, strings, bass and drums, leaving room for evocative stacked vocals and harmonies to breathe.

Lyrics
There's something that comes over me
When I see it in your eyes
You can't even look at me
Shame is deep inside
You don't remember when you're sober
All the things I told ya
It's like the night just disappears
You don't remember in the morning
All the things you told me
I remember everything
So why can't you promise me
You'll be there when I need
And why can't you see how it hurts me
Oh darling
Oh won't you please come home
Darling
I pray that you'll come home
I drive at night to find you
But you're nowhere to be found
It scares me that you could be
Alone and out of your mind
You don't remember when you're sober
All the things I told ya
It's like the night just disappears
You don't remember in the morning
All the things you told me
I remember everything
So why can't you promise me
You'll be there when I need
And why can't you see how it hurts me
Oh darling
Oh won't you please come home
Darling
I pray that you'll come home
You think that I'm angry
But really I'm just scared
That you'll take it all too far one day
So why can't you promise me
You'll be there when I need
And why can't you see how it hurts me
Oh darling
Oh won't you please come home
Darling
I pray that you'll come home
So why can't you promise me
You'll be there when I need
And why can't you see how it hurts me
Oh darling
Oh won't you please come home
Darling
I pray that you'll come home
