about

Assignment of the week -- "Write a song about returning or coming back to something. Could be a person, place or thing. Or songwriting club."

lyrics

Everybody's waiting
Everybody's waiting for a sign to take a step
Lookin' for a better day, an easy way, but it ain't happened yet

We're all wanting someone
We're all bored and lonely, though we mostly hide it well
Giving up a heart of stone, when we're alone, sometimes it's hard to tell

We put our heads before our hearts
Will we ever learn
We're lost and lookin' for a reason, a reason to return

Sometimes when no one's watching
We take the chance to change the world, or at least our little room
Lighten up the darkest day, show me the way, it can't come too soon

Someday when we're older
Someday when we're wiser, or maybe when we're not
I'll open up my heart to you, it's the least I can do, when it was all my fault

We put our heads before our hearts
Will we ever learn
We're lost and lookin' for a reason, a reason to return

We make the best excuses
We take the time to make them up when we're feeling weak and proud
Lookin' for a better way, a brighter day, it could happen now

We put our heads before our hearts
Will we ever learn
We shouldn't always need a reason, a reason to return
