Lyrics

THERE’S A PIECE OF PAPER IN THIS RATTY
BROWN LEATHER BAG
I TAKE IT WITH ME EVERYWHERE I GO
IT’S GOT THESE DATES AND PICTURES
OF THINGS I’D LIKE TO FORGET
BUT I TAKE IT OUT AND LOOK AT IT FROM TIME TO TIME

IT REMINDS ME OF WHAT I COULD’VE BEEN
WITHOUT YOUR SWEET, SWEET MERCY REACHING ME

SO I FILE IT AWAY, LOOK FOR A BETTER WAY
AND I TRY TO FAKE IT BUT IT COMES
TO MAKE IT’S WAY BACK HOME

WELL IT’S CRUMPLED AND WORN, JUST LIKE ME

THESE PIECES OF PAPER THEY’RE ALL STAINED NOW
I TRY TO GET ‘EM OUT, I TRY TO ERASE THESE LINES
BUT IT JUST GETS HARDER, IT JUST GETS HARDER

SO I FILE IT AWAY, LOOK FOR A BETTER WAY
AND I TRY TO FAKE IT BUT IT COMES
TO MAKE IT’S WAY BACK HOME

WELL I COME AND HAND YOU THIS PILE OF MINE
AND YOU TAKE ONE LOOK AT IT AND YOU SMILE
YOU ALREADY KNEW, THESE THINGS AND MUCH MORE
AND YOUR TAKE THE PAPER ADN YOU RIP IT ALL TO SHREDS

AND YOU TOSS IT AWAY, IT’S GONE TODAY
I DON’T HAVE TO FAKE IT, NO, I’VE MADE IT
I’VE MADE IT HOME
YEAH, I MADE IT, I’VE MADE IT HOME

AND THERE’S LOVE THAT’S FLOWING
FROM YOUR HEART TO MINE
MERCY FALLING FROM YOU TO ME
AND THERE’S LOVE THAT’S
FLOWING FROM YOUR HEART TO MINE
MERCY FALLING, THERE’S MERCY FALLING

YEAH, I’VE MADE IT, I’VE MADE IT HOME
YEAH, I’VE MADE IT HOME, I’VE MADE IT HOME
I’M HOME, I’M HOME, I’M HOME
