  • For so long I was out in the cold
    And I taught myself to believe every story I told
    It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun
    But it's been too long, now I wanna come home

    Came so close to the edge of defeat
    But I made my way in the shade keeping out of the heat
    It was fun shooting out at the stars, looking into the sun
    But it's been too long, now I wanna come home

    Home, where there's nothing but sweet surrender
    To the memories from afar
    Home, to the place where the truth lies waiting
    We remember who we are

    For too long I was out on my own
    Everyday I spent trying to prove I could make it alone
    It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun
    But it's been too long, now I wanna come home

    Home

    For so long I was out in the cold
    But I taught myself to believe every story I told
    It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun
    But it's been too long, now I wanna come home
    Yeah, it's been too long, now I wanna come home
    Been too long, now I wanna come home Writer/s: Paul James McCartney
