You're The Reason I Come Home

Me (Ron Pope) playing "You're The Reason I Come Home" in my living room.

You're The Reason I Come Home
Words and Music by Ron Pope

Watching you watching me,
A fine way to fall asleep.
The neighbors fight, as we both rest our eyes.

Hands in the fallen snow,
Numb to the winter cold,
But we don't mind, 'cause we'll get warm inside.

You're the reason I come home.
You're the reason I come home, my love.
You're the reason that when everything I know falls apart...
You're the reason I come home.

Paper doll silhouettes,
Fingertips on window glass...
The street's asleep, so I breathe you in deep.

The tragedies of chemistry,
People dream of what you and me have found...
Effortlessly.

You're the reason I come home.
You're the reason I come home, my love.
You're the reason that when everything I know falls apart...
Well, you're the reason I come home.

And for a long time, I remember,
Saying prayers for something perfect,
Saying prayers for someone kind.
It's in my head,
We're spinning circles down the avenues
Instead.

You're the reason I come home.
You're the reason I come home, my love.
You're the reason that when everything I know falls apart...
You're the reason I come home.
You're the reason I come home.
