Home - The Unlikely Candidates

We both learned early life was not a fairy tale

We saw the American dream on fire sale

The buildings fell and ash spread

The world 'round

Her parents loved the silence

Mine lost her mind then her home

They fed us some pills and we faced our fears alone

We’re searching the wasteland for

Something our own

I can feel your heart if you keep it close

The ceiling will break if we start to grow

Someday we will be

Someday we will be

Someday we will be home

Living like you are dying is not a long term plan

But it beats bad investments falling through a strangers hand

Either way’s the hard road

We’ll take our own

We left the houses where all the doors are closed

Where everyone’s a stranger, even those you know

Where all the lights are on all night

From people in their rooms alone

I can feel your heart if you keep it close

The ceiling will break if we start to grow

Someday we will be

Someday we will be

Someday we will be home

We can light a fire, burn ourselves a road

We’ll know the truth when it rings in our bones

Someday we will be

Someday we will be

Someday we will be home

We gave up all our secrets

Saw every shade of each other’s soul

Dug through each layer of love

'Till even the dirt, it shined like gold

We found an abandoned building, somewhere by the coast

It was the closest thing that we ever felt to home

The sea waged war against us

We did not fear

We cut the bad roots from the bountiful tree

Connected vines with our neighbors, so we all could eat

We tilled the field with love

To guide each sprouting bean

I can feel your heart if you keep it close

The ceiling will break if we start to grow

Someday we will be

Someday we will be

Someday we will be home

We can light a fire, burn ourselves a road

We’ll know the truth when it rings in our bones

Someday we will be

Someday we will be

Someday we will be home

Let the empires be washed into the sea

Into the sea

Into the sea

A house is only as strong

As its family

Its family

Go outside when there’s thirty thousand suns to see

Baby our blood is cold, oh you and me lets share this heat

Someday we will be

Someday we will be

Someday we will be
