[Verse 1]
You are coming home, are you still alone?
Are you not the same as you used to be?

Like a love that we could not leave behind
Turn the wheel to each way we feel
'Til I'm lost and I cannot find you there
Don't forget the nights when it all felt right
Are you not the same as you used to be?
[Chorus]

Coming home any day now
Any day now, any day now
Coming home any day now
Any day now, any day now
Coming home any day now
Any day now, any day now
