Home Again (Our World) Lyrics

Alone, alone, I'm home again

Got the moonlight to myself

The twinkling of Christmas lights

The new books on the shelf

Where everything was written down

When the universe began

The troubled words that set us clear

So hard to understand

Alone, alone, we drink alone

We just can't help ourselves

The wine that hollows out our souls

Turns us into someone else

But maybe if we talk for hours

With poison on our teeth

We'll kiss at last with blue-stained lips

Embrace and sink beneath

Our world was painted green and blue

These hearts I stole for you

I don't know what to do to bring you home

To bring you home again

Suffering the distance from the daydream to the day

Ushering the decade in, we bathed in our decay

Waking up, it's late December

Another year you can't remember

Ashes scattered, emptied bottles

Promises forgotten on the way

Our world was painted green and blue

These hearts I stole for you

I don't know what to do to bring you home

To bring you home again

Now things are geared to fall apart

And we all must come to harm

You walked out of the wreckage

With a rabbit in your arms

But then you caught a Greyhound bus

I heard you moved to Mars

You bought yourself some time and space

To paint among the stars

Our world was painted green and blue

These hearts I stole for you

I don't know what to do to bring you home

To bring you home again
