## Lyrics

**[Chorus]**

When you comin' home?

Home is where you supposed to be

Turn around, it's not too late, did I hurt you?

You live too far away

Are you turnin' off your phone again?

If I take back my words, would you return to me?

**[Verse 1]**

Drive around in the snow, ice on the glass

Heat didn't work, couldn't see nothing (Ooh, ooh)

Ice slippin', swear to God, I could've hit the brakes, still on lock, almost said "Fuck it" (Fuck, fuck, fuck it)

And I hate being too much, could've just sighed to me that night, could've just said nothin'

I wish we would've just said nothin', nothin' (Nothin')

**[Pre-Chorus]**

And you thought what you said would be for the best

But instead it broke me down

**[Chorus]**

When you comin' home?

Home is wherе you supposed to be

Turn around, it's not too late, did I hurt you?

You livе too far away

Are you turnin' off your phone again?

If I take back my words, would you return to me?

**[Verse 2]**

Water drops, cracked phone, couldn't even type, left you on read, know it did damage

Bloodstains on your fists, used to only fight when you was around no cameras

We used to be so young, didn't even act right, we didn't have no manners

We really didn't have no manners

**[Pre-Chorus]**

If I'm bein' honest

If I said what I said, would you hate me?

Would you hate me?

**[Chorus]**

When you comin' home?

Home is where you supposed to be

Turn around, it's not too late, did I hurt you?

You live too far away

Are you turnin' off your phone again?

If I take back my words, would you return to me?

**[Post-Chorus]**

Been about it, fucking on me

Been about it, fucking on me

Me

**[Bridge]**

Real life, real life, real life

Yeah, you ain't got no real friends in your life, your life, your life

You gon' feel better by the springtime (Springtime)

You gon' feel better by the springtime

Slippin' on ice in the meantime

**[Chorus]**

When you comin' home?

Home is where you supposed to be

Turn around, it's not too late, did I hurt you?

You live too far away

Are you turnin' off your phone again?

If I take back my words, would you return to me?

**[Outro]**

And you thought what you said would be for the best

Instead it broke me down

Never thought that I'd leave

But I still believe I can make you proud
