[Intro] On the wrong side of the universe On a stolen ship With the hum in the walls And my heart in my grip [Verse 1] Jesse watched Jaime Striding for the shuttle A little too quick For a casual goodbye For the first time She saw his hands And how they never Met the light He wasn’t smiling Didn’t throw that crooked joke Just jaw set Eyes locked on the door And she realized She had never seen The ghosts he carries Under those gloves before [Chorus] On the wrong side of the universe On a rusted Borrowed home Among a crew of broken survivors I’ve never felt this close Every scar in this metal Every secret that they own In all my life before I met them I never knew I could feel This at home (this at home) [Verse 2] Air tasted like engine dust And left-over fear Names carved in the table From the ones who aren’t here They eat from cracked plates Trade old stories for sleep Hide their nightmares Like they’re holding the heat Jaime’s shadow on the bulkhead One arm strong One arm steel And the silence says more Than his humor ever will She doesn’t ask what they took Or what he had to leave She just stands in the doorway And tries to breathe [Chorus] On the wrong side of the universe On a rusted Borrowed home Among a crew of broken survivors I’ve never felt this close Every scar in this metal Every secret that they own In all my life before I met them I never knew I could feel This at home (this at home, oh) [Bridge] She grew up on clean floors Bright halls Polite lies All that perfect Empty safety Never met her eyes Here the walls are bent and bruised The people are too But they saved her Stayed with her Shared what is true [Chorus] On the wrong side of the universe Somehow we belong On this patched-up pirate starship We’re the fragile Fierce and strong Every bruise Every memory Says “You are not alone” In all my life before I met you I never knew I could call This Home
