“Homecomings”by Ellery Vaughn (third draft)
Stayedup all night on the 405, without the A/C on.
The cars crawled on, but I kept going
Through the dark night, on.
It’s been toolong since I saw you that night
And ever since then, I’ve dreamed of when
The music just flowed right.
But now you’rehome
You’ve come home
Now you’re home
You’ve come home
Home home.
And I know well,it’s not me who you’re here to see.
I’ve been waiting, anticipating
But this all feels too big to me.
You’ve gone outand seen the world
While I’ve been standing still.
Do I have what it takes to keep your interest now?
But you’re home
You’ve come home
And I don’t know
What it means
For the two of us.
I’m standing on the outside, looking in,
But is this only me?
Now you’re home
It’s a chance to know
What could be between us.
I’m scared and want to hide away
From the gulf inside.
