I'm Coming Back to You

Intro

Ay... ay...

Verse

My heart is heavy with the weight of the morning

I know the hour, I know the day has come

Tonight I’ll fly, leaving you behind

I’ll leave you standing in the dark, my only sun

We’re better together than we ever were apart

But there are bills to pay and houses left to mend

I’ve got meetings to lead and a world to go and find

And I count the hours 'til I see you again.

Pre-chorus

We live two lives, a restless rhythm

Between the mountain peak and the salt-spray shore

The higher we climb, the more we have to carry

But it’s the twinkle in your eyes that I’m working for.

Chorus

I’m getting on a plane and leaving you behind

But from the moment I leave your arms until the day I return

I am looking forward to the flight that brings me home

Every bed, every hotel, every house is just a lonely emptiness.

From the very second that I’m gone... I’m coming back to you!

Verse

The mountain is a list of chores and repairs

Responsibility blooming in the yard like a weed

But at the beach, things are simple, just Aloha and air

Dripping in the kind of grace that we both need

I’m building Graphite, one stone at a time

Pushing through the stress and the limits of the day

While you’re capturing the masterpiece inside stunning waves.

Giving the world the light that takes their breath away.

Bridge

I’ve seen the Towers of London, the canals in Amsterdam

I’ve walked the streets of Paris where the ghosts of lovers go

But without you, the world is just a silent film

Until you turn my black-and-white to technicolor stereo

No camera can capture the way it feels to hold your hand

Everywhere I go alone is just a vast and empty land.

Chorus

I’m getting on a plane and leaving you behind

But from the moment I leave your arms until the day I return

I am looking forward to the flight that brings me home

Every bed, every hotel, every house is just a lonely emptiness.

From the very second that I’m gone... I’m coming back to you!

Outro

I'm checking my watch... I'm headed to the gate... Back to the beach. Back to the light. Back to you.

(I'm coming back to you...)
