Calling You Home

You're half awake
Dancing in the twilight
And at the break of day
You can't seem to decide
To stay here
Hanging by a thread
Or let go
Slide out of this shadow land
Something's keeping you inbetween

You're off somewhere
As we watch the circle's ends meet
And you twist and turn
A waltz of fever in a sea of sheets
You left your footprints
Cast your shadows
Fit your battles
Faced all storms
Now would be a good time
For someone
To be calling you home
Calling you home

In this soft machine
The velvet wheels cease to spin
'Fore each silent sigh
We hold our breath 'til you breathe in
If I just had one more chance
I'd keep you up way past dawn
And ask all you remember
Before it's forever gone

Under bright blue stars
We don't need words for our regrets
What was so hard to admit
Proved so easy to forget
You moved no mountains
But you made your mark
Now you're slipping away
From us in the dark
So now would be a good time
For someone
To be calling you home
Calling you home

You've been out there on your own so long
Living for the little things in life
You're anywhere and nowhere
Out of place and out of time
Just a pure drop in the ocean
In the bigger scheme of things
But if you know you passed on something
It's so much harder to resist
Hearing someone
Calling you home
Calling you home
