This Isn’t How I Wanted to Come Home Lyrics by Justin Hiltner

Watch it Burn

2018

[Verse 1]
If the heavens tried they ain't got much to show
Skies are gray, feels like it's gonna snow
There's no use to fight it
Bring the blizzards, bring the cold
Someone bring a loving hand to hold
This isn't how I wanted to come home
[Verse 2]
In the years that passed I heard the prairie song
The fields and canyons called me all along
Promising that I'd be back if only for a while
Still daunted by the never-ending miles
This isn't how I wanted to come home
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we stand beneath the pale and feeble sun
Waiting for the preacher to be done
The restless wind is louder than every other sound
As one more soul returns back to the ground
[Chorus]
I thought I'd bring my exile to an end
When the sunflowers bloomed again
With rivers cool and calmer, the flax all pretty blue
Watching summer thunderstorms with you
This isn't how I wanted to come home
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we stand beneath the pale and feeble sun
Waiting for the preacher to be done
The restless wind is louder than every other sound
As one more soul returns back to the ground
{Chorus]
I thought I'd bring my exile to an end
When the sunflowers bloomed again
With rivers cool and calmer, and the flax all pretty blue
Watching summer thunderstorms with you
This isn't how I wanted to come home
This isn't how I wanted to come home
