I'm Coming Home Lyrics

I'm driving down these old dirt roads
I see the hills up on the right
White grass, artificial ski slope
I'm speeding by the East Coast train line
And I've got a friend talking on the phone
He said he'd help me pass the time
I'm where the humour is dry as a bone
But it rains here every night

I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
To see the faces that I know
Been away for way too long, I'm coming home
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Where the trees are always growing
Wanna see where time has gone, I'm coming home
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Put the kettle on the stove
Leave a light on so they know I'm coming home

I've got the wind in my sails
I've got the red in my cheeks
'Cause I've been running from this place, ever since 17
Cobbled streets, evergreens
Castles and housing schemes
That whiskey taste, out 'til late
See that man? He's shitfaced

Flashback, I'm seventeen in the passenger seat
You roll the windows down, "808's & Heartbreak" plays
Even in this small town, we still had the biggest dreams
Always wanted something more, I always wanted to be seen
Still got that Northern blood, I've still got a sharp-edged tongue
I hold it like a sword so everyone knows where I'm from
You take for granted all the things that one day will be gone
I should've held on for dear life when I was young
Walk through the trees, I see the green, I see the reservoir
I see the nights, I see the lights, I see my family fall apart
I know the leaving, know the feelings, know the seasons change
Things are different now, but I still feel the same
I've been around, I've seen it all
There's nowhere else I'd rather go
So won't you let them know

I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
So put the kettle on the stove
Leave a light on so they know I'm coming home
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Put the kettle on the stove
Leave a light on so they know I'm coming home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
