[Intro]
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
[Verse 1]
Muddy water on the shore
Throwing pebbles, just to stay afloat
Doing all I can just to keep from going under
With hidden stories in the walls
The paint is worn but it's got soul
And they tear it down and they stripped us all away
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I won't make the same mistake
'Cause I don't wanna live that way
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I've been tryna fix myself
I've been running down the halls of a broken past
Darling, I've been down that road
Where they do it all for show
And I won't go back
I'm coming home
You're all I need
[Verse 2]
Up the town, foot on the right
Smoked a cigarette a couple times
Didn't like the taste but I lovе to get in trouble
No one's watching anymorе
I miss that fear of getting caught
So I packed my bags and I drove back yesterday
[Pre-Chorus]
Told my folks, "I'm on my way"
But, this time, I'm here to stay
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I've been tryna fix myself
I've been running down the halls of a broken past
Darling, I've been down that road
Where they do it all for show
And I won't go back
I'm coming home
You're all I need
[Bridge]
I won't make the same mistakes
I don't need these walls to change
And I know we got a lot of ghosts that haunt us, babe
But nowhere gets me like this place
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I've been tryna fix myself
I've been running down the halls of a broken past
Darling, I've been down that road
Where they do it all for show
And I won't go back
I'm coming home
You're all I need
[Outro]
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Coming Home was written by Charlotte Jane & James Earp.
Coming Home was produced by Phil Cook & James Earp & Charlotte Jane.
Charlotte Jane released Coming Home on Fri May 26 2023.
[“Coming Home”] is the first release of a very new chapter for me as a fully independent artist. No label, no management, no publisher, no bells and whistles… just a song that poured out in my mate James' living room at a time when I felt really lost and the only place I felt understood was at home...
