The Quiet Life

It started in the morning
It happened so fast
What started in discussion
We knew would never last
I’m waiting, not taking
I’m coming home
I’ve tasted that sunlight
I’m coming home
It happened in the daytime
But you wish it was the night
I tried to keep you quiet
But you only ever fight
You caught up in the details
Of a lover that you had
Just close the dictionary, love
Definitions in your head
I’m waiting, not taking
I’m coming home
I’ve tasted that sunlight
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
To the quiet life
She said she saw a vision
She said that I was there
She didn’t like where I was going
But I’m not going anywhere
Your eyes they start to water
From that circle in the sky
But until the day is over, love
You’re gonna have to try
I’m waiting, not taking
I’m coming home
I’ve tasted that sunlight
I’m coming home
Erase me, don’t take me
I’m coming home
I tasted that sunlight
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
To the quiet life
