[Verse 1] She keeps her pills in a blue thin box On the table by the sink She stares at the glass, then looks away Like she’s scared to think Her coat still hangs by the back door hook Since the cold came in last fall She says, “I’m fine,” with a shaking hand But she can’t get out at all [Pre-Chorus] There’s a phone call waiting There’s a soft screen light There’s a door she knows But she fades from sight [Chorus] Girl, come home to your body Girl, come home tonight You can want to be happy And still be afraid Please, come home to your body Let somebody hold the light You can want to be healthy You can still be brave [Verse 2] She walks past the clinic on Main Street Keeps her gaze on the ground Every little ache feels louder now When the cars stop driving round At night she folds her hands in the dark And asks Heaven, “Please” “I want my mornings back I want to run, I want to breathe” (I wanna live) [Pre-Chorus] There’s a phone call waiting There’s a soft white light There’s a door she knows But she won’t step inside (oh no) [Chorus] Girl, come home to your body Please, come home tonight You can want to be happy And still be afraid Please, come home to your body Let somebody hold the light You can be healthy and Still be brave (God give her strength) [Bridge] The world can be a hard old place Cold enough to split you in two But healing starts with one small step And a big change calling you So take your phone, make the call Take the hand of a helping man Take the shaking breath You don’t have to walk alone As you move toward what’s next [Chorus] Please, come home to your body Denise, come home tonight You can want to be happy And still be afraid Denise, come home to your body Let somebody hold the light You can want to be healthy You can still be brave [Outro] Denise, come home Denise, come home Denise, come home to your body
