i'm waiting for a sound
a whisper from the breeze
to help me rest my head
i'm tryna go to sleep
this place is not my home
as close as it may seem
and things i used to know
are now confined to dreams
so let me go to sleep
we fill the room with clouds
im feeling like a ghost
i'm moving in and out
it’s starting to get cold
why'd summer have to go
the color left my face
i’m waiting on the wind
i'll listen when it plays
sing to me now, tell me stories of fire
oh, feed me the lights on the wall, i'm so tired
oh, sing to me now, there's no monsters, i know
but emptiness scares me, so let me go home
sing to me quietly, bathe me in warmth
let the rain wash the windows and paint all the floors
flood me with comfort and read me a poem
or let me go home, let me go home
