Would You Come Home (From Roswell, New Mexico: Season 2)

My father taught me home is where the hurt is So I built a fortress Where I lived alone He said ships were never meant to have a harbor So I've worn this armor I've fought and flown I was raised a soldier Put my weapons down to hold you Is a kiss an act of war? I just tried to keep you warm Even though I couldn't stay No, you never looked away Now I can't look away Would you meet me in the middle? Could we both stop keeping score? There's a battle I must fight alone It's you I'm fighting for If I call off the battalion Break my walls down stone by stone Tear down my defenses I can build your heart a home And if I did Would you come home? Together we could quiet all the noises Drown out the voices Play our own song Boys becoming men under the desert sky But something dark inside Said it was wrong I was raised a soldier Put my weapons down to hold you Is a kiss an act of war? I just tried to keep you warm Even though I couldn't stay No, you never looked away Now I won't look away Would you meet me in the middle? Could we both stop keeping score? There's a battle I must fight alone It's you I'm fighting for If I call off the battalion Break my walls down stone by stone Tear down my defenses I can build your heart a home And if I did Would you come home? I still find my father's shrapnel Buried beneath my skin But I've begun to heal in all the places Your hands have been Would you meet me in the middle? Could we both stop keeping score? There's a battle I must fight alone It's you I'm fighting for If I call off the battalion Break my walls down stone by stone Tear down my defenses I can build your heart a home And if I did Would you come home? Wish I found the words when we were 17 You were the best of me You are the best of me
