Sing You Home
by: XeniaYou got a feeling
It's gonna turn you around
You can't believe it
But you can't run from the sound
Of your melodies growin' inside of you
The harmony's chasin ' you down
So just surrender
'Cause it's a part of you now
See it written on the walls all around you
Somethin' hidden, Every song is a steppin' stone
Kinda like the way it feels when you let the stars
Sing you home
Home
Sing you home
Stop, shh, listen 'cause the stars tryin' to sing you home
You wanna fake it
But you can't do it alone
So will you face it?
Can you take the loan?
'Cause the melody growin' inside of you
Wants a harmony all of it's own
You think I'm fakin'
I'm tryin' to throw you a bone
See it written on the walls all around you
Something hidden, Every song is a steppin' stone
Kinda like the way it feels when you let the stars
Sing you home
Home
Sing you home
Stop, shh listen 'cause the stars tryin' to sing
It's falling to pieces
And the bridge is a lie
You're looking for reasons
Open your eyes
See it written on the walls all around you
Somethin' hidden, Every song is a steppin' stone
Kinda like the way it feels when you let the stars
Sing you home
See it written on the walls all around you
Somethin' hidden, Every song is a steppin' stone
Kinda like the way it feels when you let the stars
Sing you home
Home
Sing you home
