Home

On my way into work this morning (hey David, I still don't have my MP3 player installed!!), I was suddenly caught in a moment of thought. What is a home, is it bricks and slate? Tin and glass? Not really was my conclusion... sure those could be a house but not always a home.

Today's tune, "Home" by the Goo Goo Dolls kinda covers that sentiment. Home really is where the heart is. How often do we find ourselves in those crowded rooms with people that seem to just be passing time? The emptiness?

Crowded rooms full of empty faces
Our deepest conversation full of lies
Another night with all my friends
The kind you'll never see again
I wonder if they'll see through my disguise

And I want to say
That I can't hold back
And it might be wrong
But it's all I have

Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Oh I need you now
I'm lost without you
A million miles but I will find you
So take me home

It's 3 A.M. and I can't sleep without you
I think I've found the perfect words to say
The shattered light transmits my voice
Sometimes we don't have a choice
I'd wake you up from half a world away

And I tried so hard
Tried to be so strong
But you see the crash
My defense is gone

Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Oh I need you now
I'm lost without you
A million miles but I will find you

Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Oh, come take me home tonight
Come take me home

Come take me home
The shattered light transmits my voice
Sometimes we don't have a choice
Come take me home
Wake you up from half a world away
Oh I need you now
I'm lost without you
I'm holding on till I can find you
So take me home


Home... it's not really a place. But reckon by now I'm about half way through my million miles?
