i'm staring out into the night
trying to hide the pain
i'm going to the place
where love and feeling good
don't ever cost a thing
and the pain you feel's
a different kind of pain
well i'm going home
back to the place where i belong
and where your love
has always been enough for me
i'm not running from
no, i think you got me all wrong
i don't regret this life i chose for me
but these places and these faces
are getting old
so i'm going home
the miles are getting longer, it seems
the closer i get to you
i've not always been the best man
or friend for you
but your love remains true
and i don't know why
you always seem to give me another try
so i'm going home
be careful what you wish for
'cos you just might get it all
and then some you don't want...
but i'm home now
and boy does it feel good.
and then you see what six months
being on the opposite side of the world
does to you.
i'm happy i'm home,
with my family and best friends
making it all worth while.
