Hearts of Fire and Ice

Feeling my way
back to my roots
where it all stems from
where the ivory pillars stand high
and the balcony overlooks an endless ocean
where
we all would share one bathroom
and where coming home to your loving arms
was my only option

And I've been gone for so long
but I'm coming home
back to the place where love
was the bread we ate
and the wine we drank
I missed those nights
where we would lay on the beach, bottle in hand
and mumble our lame stories
and eat italian ice at 2AM in the middle of winter

I've been gone for so long
but I'll be home soon
forgot the feeling of a warm touch
and a sense of belonging
kicked my empty memories
that were my only solace
to the curb, and let in my family and friends again

so they can all stand around me
so i can feel proud to be me again
so they can be proud of me again
So I can experience true unconditional love again

I've had this wall around me for so long
but I'm letting it down so I can come out and see you again

And when I see you
I'll be crying like I am now
