The Unlikely Candidates – Home lyrics

[Verse 1]
We both learned early life was not a fairy tale
We saw the American dream on fire sale
The buildings fell and ash spread
The world 'round
Her parents loved the silence
Mine lost her mind then her home
They fed us some pills and we faced our fears alone
We're searching the wasteland for
Something our own

[Chorus]
I can feel your heart if you keep it close
The ceiling will break if we start to grow
Someday we will be
Someday we will be
Someday we will be home

[Verse 2]
Living like you are dying is not a long term plan
But it beats bad investments falling through a strangers hand
Either way's the hard road
We'll take our own
We left the houses where all the doors are closed
Where everyone's a stranger, even those you know
Where all the lights are on all night
From people in their rooms alone

[Chorus]
I can feel your heart if you keep it close
The ceiling will break if we start to grow
Someday we will be
Someday we will be
Someday we will be home
We can light a fire, burn ourselves a road
We'll know the truth when it rings in our bones
Someday we will be
Someday we will be
Someday we will be home

[Bridge]
We gave up all our secrets
Saw every shade of each other's soul
Dug through each layer of love
'Till even the dirt, it shined like gold

[Verse 3]
We found an abandoned building, somewhere by the coast
It was the closest thing that we ever felt to home
The sea waged war against us
We did not fear
We cut the bad roots from the bountiful tree
Connected vines with our neighbors, so we all could eat
We tilled the field with love
To guide each sprouting bean

[Chorus]
I can feel your heart if you keep it close
The ceiling will break if we start to grow
Someday we will be
Someday we will be
Someday we will be home
We can light a fire, burn ourselves a road
We'll know the truth when it rings in our bones
Someday we will be
Someday we will be
Someday we will be home

[Outro]
Let the empires be washed into the sea
Into the sea
Into the sea
A house is only as strong
As its family
Its family
Go outside when there's thirty thousand suns to see
Baby our blood is cold, oh you and me lets share this heat
Someday we will be
Someday we will be
Someday we will be
Home
