I Hope There's Love in Letting Go

Homebody

Always trying to make roads
Out of the scars on your arms.
And the freckles are the cars
And the goosebumps are the stars.

Please forgive me
if I try to make a nest
inside your chest.
I'm a homebody
and you're the somebody
where it's safe to rest.

The bump on your nose
Is the mountain in our town,
and my warm, salty tears
are the lake where I almost drowned.

And the smile on your face
in the way you same my name
is better than the view that I see 
from my bedroom window frame. 

Please forgive me
if I try to make a nest
inside your chest.
I'm a homebody
and you're the somebody
where it's safe to rest.
Your eyes hold the sky.
You keep me from knowing goodbye.
And I'm a homebody
and you're the somebody
who stayed by.

Heaven forbid I forget your arms,
they're the only place I'm safe
in these little, street storms.
And if I'm homesick,
I'll be running back quick
because Heaven forbid
I ever lost all this.

Please forgive me
if I try to make a nest
inside your chest.

I'm a homebody
and you're the somebody
where it's safe to rest.

Please forgive me
if I try to make a nest
inside your chest. 
Heaven forbid 
I ever lost all this.
