Intro:
  
  One night in iowa, he and i in a borrowed car
  Went driving in the summer, promises in every star
  Out in the distance i could hear some people laughing
  I felt my heart beat back a weekend's worth of sadness
  
  verse 2:
  There was a farmhouse that had long since been deserted
  We stopped and carved our hearts into the wooden surface
  We thought just for an instant we could see the future
  We thought for once we knew what really was important
  
  chorus:
  
  Coming up close
  Everything sounds like welcome home
  Come home and oh, by the way
  Don't you know that i could make
  A dream that's barely half-awake come true
  I wanted to say -
  But anything i could have said
  I felt somehow that you already knew
  
  verse 3:
  We got back in the car and listened to a dylan tape
  We drove around the fields until it started getting late
  And i went back to my hotel room on the highway
  And he just got back in his car and drove away
  
  chorus:
  
  Coming up close
  Everything sounds like welcome home
  Come home and oh, by the way
  Don't you know that i could make
  A dream that's barely half-awake come true
  I wanted to say - but anything i could have said
  I felt somehow that you already knew
  
   coda
  Coming up close
  Everything sounds like welcome home
  Come home
  
  Coming up close
  Everything sounds like welcome home
  Come home come on home
