[character name]
there’s a place in the attic
where we kept all her toys
and her room at the end of the hall
on the right
filled with noises of crying
from one little girl’s boogie man
dreams

when i close my eyes
i still hear
that little girl’s terrified
battle cry screams
and the two-story house
with the cobblestone walkway
was a place for the ghost
to take hold and erode
what was left of my life
grabbing it by the collar
and ripping it out at the seams

that’s the place i knew back when
so why am i standing here
begging you
asking you
please, take me home
again

at the top of the staircase
is a girl on a beach
in a framed photograph
she had cheeks just like peaches
with her pail and her shovel
she would take on the world
starting small

when i close my eyes
i can still see
that little girl starting
fourth grade in the fall
and the two-story house
with the cobblestone walkway
was a place for the nightmares
to sink in their t–th
and around every corner
was a new ghost to haunt me
’til at last i escaped from it all

[?]
so what makes me stand here
and ask you
and beg of you
please, take me home
again

a hero
i guess now i’m a hero
i see now that a hero stands his ground
when he can’t see
for god’s turned out the lights

a hero
what makes a man a hero?
is nothing out of reach
for any man that we may meet
as strangers in the night
we p-ss them
with glances, un-ssuming
and then out of sight
take care
that man could be a hero

and she screamed for her daddy
when i came home from work
and her arms
they’d shoot straight up
and her eyes
they held lurking
beneath them a yearning
for the daddy
she knew i should be

when i close my eyes
i can still feel
that little girl wrapping her arms ’round me
and the two-story house
with the cobblestone walkway
was a place for her birthdays and christmas and easter
and the flowers we planted that one day in april
man, she wouldn’t stop
humming that song

that’s the place i knew back when
and that’s why i’m standing here
asking you
begging you
please, take me home
again

if it’s not too late
tell me it’s not too late
i’ll come home now
if it’s not too late
tell me it’s not too late
i’ll come home now
