Watching you watching me, A fine way to fall asleep. The neighbors fight, As we both rest our eyes.
Hands in the fallen snow; Numb to the winter cold, But we don't mind, 'Cause we'll get warm inside.
You're the reason I come home. You're the reason I come home, my love. You're the reason that when everything I know falls apart... Well, you're the reason I come home.
Paper doll silhouettes, Fingertips on window glass; The street's asleep, So I breathe you in deep.
The tragedies of chemistry, People dream of what you and me Have found... Effortlessly.
You're the reason I come home. You're the reason I come home, my love. You're the reason that when everything I know falls apart... Well, you're the reason I come home.
And for a long time, I remember, Saying prayers for something perfect, Saying prayers for someone kind. It's in my head, We're spinning circles down the avenues instead.
You're the reason I come home. You're the reason I come home, my love. You're the reason that when everything I know falls apart... Well, you're the reason I come home..
