Lyric-only entry. Wants music real bad. Can be sung by a male or female. My mind says it could be jazzy, bluesy, ballady, poppy, countrified...Okay, so I'm trying to make a case for it. grin

A Place To Come Back To
© 2009 Greg C. Brown

I can't tell what you're thinking,
There was once a time I could.
You never had to say it,
I always understood.
And I could sense your feelings
As though I could read your mind.
But lately I don't know you
Even after all this time.

I think you've gotten restless,
Maybe lost out on some dreams.
Are there things that you've been missing,
Or places you've not seen?
It shouldn't be surprising,
As I wait each night alone,
That you've become this stranger
I have never really known.

CHORUS
If you're looking for some greener pasture,
I can only wish my very best for you.
I hope you find what it is you're after,
But if you don't, you know that's okay too,
'Cause you'll always have a place to come back to.

We went through changing seasons
While we shared a single soul.
All the storms that we have weathered,
I thought would keep us whole.
But somehow things are different,
Yet I almost never saw
The signals you were sending,
Or the writing on the wall.

CHORUS
If you're looking for some greener pasture,
I can only wish my very best for you.
I hope you find what it is you're after,
But if you don't, you know that's okay too,
'Cause you'll always have a place to come back to.

BRIDGE
I won't let my teardrops fall
For what I thought we had.
I won't hold you with emotions,
I'll just wish you luck instead.

REPEAT CHORUS
If you're looking for that proverbial greener pasture
I can only wish my very best for you.
I hope you find what it is you're after,
But if you don't, you know that's okay too,
'Cause you'll always have a place to come back to.

You'll always have a place to come back to.
