Marina - lyrics

WHEN I COME HOME
My heart is beating fast
I’m going home today
I sit and watch the clock
Waiting for my plane
But why I’m scared to leave
Is not a fear of flight
Seems like a life-long dream
Since we said goodbye, oh

Will I know it’s you
Or will I pass you by
Will I know the truth
When I see your eyes
Will I be alone
When I come home

So has it been too long
Will you want me back
Or did the parted sea
Drown what we once had
I’m like a falling leaf
To new, familiar sites
I’m reaching for my tree
But drifting out of sight, oh

When I come home
Will you still be there?

Marina's Notes:
Just like all of the other songs, it’s based on a personal experience. You’re coming home but you’ve changed, time has gone by, and things at home changed. You’re coming home but you really don’t know if it’s going to FEEL like home, and if you’re going to find yourself a stranger in a familiar place.
