Original Song Lyrics: Written by M. S. McKenzie, All Rights Reserved
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I heard your voice on the telephone
Soft as the rain against my window
You said you'd been driving through the City alone
With nowhere you really had to go…
You asked if I remembered that summer
When we stayed out beneath the harbor lights
I said some things are harder to forget
No matter how hard you try
The room was quiet for a moment
Like the whole world held its breath
Then you laughed the way you used to
And pulled me back in your arms again
[Pre-Chorus]
We keep walking away
We keep turning around
Every time we lose each other
We come running back somehow
[Chorus]
Come back to the Harbor
Come back into my arms tonight
We've been thunder over Boston
We've been on fire beneath city lights
Come back to the harbor
To where your restless heart called home
We may never make it easy
But I don't know how to let you go….
[Instrumental Turnaround]
[Verse 2]
We could make a storm from nothing
Turn a whisper into World War Three
You would slam the door in Cambridge
I would swear that you were done with me
Then I'd find you near the water
With the wind caught in your hair
Looking out across the Harbor
Like you knew I'd find you there
We were reckless in November
We were perfect every June
We made promises in Provincetown
Then broke them far too soon
[Pre-Chorus]
We keep drawing the line
Then we cross it again
Every ending leaves the doorway
Open just enough to let us in
[Chorus]
Come back to the Harbor
Come back into my arms tonight
We've been thunder over Boston
We've been on fire beneath city lights
Come back to the Harbor
To where your restless heart called home
We may never make it easy
But I don't know how to let you go….
[Instrumental Breakdown]
[Bridge]
Maybe love was never meant
To live inside those lines
Maybe we were always running
Half a step behind the times
You still keep my old blue sweater
I still take the coastal road
Past the dunes and weathered houses
Where we almost found our home
And sometimes when the fog rolls in
Across the Cape at night
I swear I see your shadow
In the sweep of Highland Light
[Breakdown Chorus]
Come back to the Harbor
Even if it's only for tonight
[Background Vocals]
Come back
Come back
[Lead Vocal]
Let me hold you through the silence
Before the morning changes your mind
[Background Vocals]
Don't go
Don't go
[Lead Vocal]
We've been wrong in every season
But something in me still believes
[Full-Band Build]
That every road you take without me
Brings you closer back to me
[Final Chorus]
Come back to the Harbor
Come back into my arms tonight
We've been thunder over Boston
We've been on fire beneath city lights
Come back to the Harbor
Let the past fall where it may
We may never make forever
But I still need you here today
Come back to the Harbor
Where the restless water meets the shore
I know loving you can break me
But I keep coming back for more…
[Post-Chorus]
Coming back
Coming back
Coming back to the Harbor
Coming back
Coming back
Though we know how this will end..
[Instrumental Outro]
