Take Me Back

Verse 1

Pavement

Stained by June rain

I am walking south towards a steeple

Cold

Heavy

My shoes are soaked through

Chorus

Take me back to church

Show me the way back home

Take me back to church

Show me the way back home

I lost my way, in the valley

I lost the spark in the storm

Take me back to church

Show me the way back home

Post-Chorus

Way back home

Way back home

Way back

Way back home

Verse 2

Stuttering

A prayer I forgot

Beneath the rafters where the cedar smells

Holy

Quiet

The choir starts to hum

Singing for the sinner

Singing for the saint

Singing for the soul

Bitter water in the basin

Broken glass on the floor

Chorus

Take me back to church

Show me the way back home

Take me back to church

Show me the way back home

I lost my way, in the valley

I lost the spark in the storm

Take me back to church

Show me the way back home

Bridge

Maybe I ran too far

Maybe I hid too well

Maybe I stayed too long

Door is open

Fire is low

I can see the porch light

I can feel the porch light

I can touch the porch light

Chorus

Take me back to church

Show me the way back home

Take me back to church

Show me the way back home

I lost my way, in the valley

I lost the spark in the storm

Take me back to church

Show me the way back home

Outro

Show me the way

Show me the way

Lead me

Lead me

Almost there

Almost home
