[Verse 1] Monday put its foot down hard I ran all week on a half-full charge Three missed calls and a train gone late I carried all that noise up the stairway You took my bag and moved the lamp Made a little circle where my feet could land [Pre-Chorus] One deep breath, one favorite song My whole body knows where it belongs [Chorus] Fast lane, soft landing You don't need an explanation I can leave the world still running When you put your arms around me Fast lane, soft landing Little room, big understanding Let the bass line do the talking I'm home before I stop moving [Verse 2] Your day had corners of its own A hard conversation on the telephone We take our turns, we take our time Then put the kettle on and find the rhyme The floorboards creak beneath our socks A quieter kind of coming out on top [Pre-Chorus] One deep breath, one favorite song My whole body knows where it belongs [Chorus] Fast lane, soft landing You don't need an explanation I can leave the world still running When you put your arms around me Fast lane, soft landing Little room, big understanding Let the bass line do the talking I'm home before I stop moving [Bridge - intimate solo vocal, piano and strings] Love's not always fireworks Sometimes it's the small things working Somebody who makes a place For the tired behind your face [Instrumental interlude - orchestra and rhythm section, no vocals] [Final Chorus] Fast lane, soft landing You don't need an explanation I can leave the world still running When you put your arms around me Fast lane, soft landing Little room, big understanding Let the bass line do the talking I'm home before I stop moving [Outro] Fast lane Soft landing I'm home, I'm home
