Lyrics

[Verse 1] Come on inside You feel so paper thin Aren't you so tired Of making the most of it? Mm You and I We've been to hell and back, mm And I left your side Trying to hide When they came to evangelizers [Pre-Chorus] So I'll build a fort with the stones that they threw I won't let them take any more from you So come home Come home [Chorus] I'll give you all of the pretty things Oh, all the forbidden things that we were before And I'll give you back all the colors They faded the rainbows that we never wore And I can't change the way that it played itself out But I'll make us both proud This time around Mmm, mmm, mm [Verse 2] You were just a kid So why'd you have to face the preacher's politics and prejudice? Oh, what I'd give to tell you to live Free from the promises of so called redemption [Pre-Chorus] So I'll build a fort with the stones that they threw I won't let them take any more from you So come home Please come home [Chorus] I'll give you all of the pretty things Oh, all the forbidden things that we were before And I'll give you back all the colors They faded the rainbows that we never wore And I can't change the way that it played itself out But I'll make us both proud This time around Mmm, mmm, mm This time around
