Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
It's getting dark now
I'm at the end of myself
I'm out of options
I've tried and nothing has helped
I don't feel innocent
The streets are wild at best
I need a safe place
To feel like a child again
The tears in my eyes
The tired in my bones
The death in my life
The heavy in my soul
Like the streetlights turning on
Telling me it's time to come home
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The streetlights are turning on
I'm coming home
It's running to You
And seeing You run after me
You're where my heart belongs
I've never felt such sweet relief
The tears in my eyes
The tired in my bones
The death in my life
The heavy in my soul
Like the streetlights turning on
Telling me it's time to come home
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The streetlights are turning on
I'm coming home
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The streetlights are turning on
I'm coming home
