Away From Here - Home Is Where Corey Hart Is Lyrics

Midnight hair straddles porcelain skin
I will whisper in your ear, yeah, and the chills on the small of your back
and trembling hands trace outlines of absence [scream]
I'll whisper in your ear, yeah, and the chills on the small of your back.
Accidents, and kilometers, sketch the boy's face, lines drawn by tears
Sketch the girls [2x]
Phone calls overheard by passers by, passing by
Seems less distant than the tremble in your voice
Well I'm as distant as this freeway,
I should not be behind this wheel

[Chorus]
I assure you I'll be home soon standing on the front lawn
Holding onto phone lines
I assure you I'll be home soon standing on the front lawn
Holding onto phone lines
[Background]
You just take, and you break and you take and you break it

[Scream]
I am by your side
Just hold me in your arms
I am by your side
Just hold me in your arms
I'm by your side
Dying in your arms
I am by your side
Dying in your arms

So hold me and I'll be home unless you get the best of me
So hold me and I'll be home unless you get the best of me

I can hear your voice quiet and slow through the crack of a window
but somewhere between a discord and Michigan, my heart was lost.
it was just an accident. could this really be any harder?
and a boy, who's a soul survivor and he's whispering in your ear,
that he'll be home soon. but he never really made it that far
never made it that far
and I'll whisper as your words scream, why, why'd i warn you.

[Chorus x2]
