Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
Six to two on a Thursday night,
Grease still stains the edge of my sleeve tight.
Burger smoke clings to the worn-out lines,
Chocolate shake drip stains on cracked sidewalks' spines.
Mama told me, "You can’t stay no more,"
Frank’s hands bruised the silence with a roar.
I threw the first punch, rose like a storm,
Then she shut me out, left me cold and torn.
[Pre-Chorus]
Heads down low, streets whisper my shame,
Counting scraps of hope, no one calls my name.
Detroit’s chill digs into my skin,
Sixteen, stranded, nowhere safe to begin.
[Chorus]
I just wanna go home,
But the door’s slammed tight behind my back.
I just wanna see the dawn’s pale light
Leaking slow through the cracks.
I ain’t done no harm, no harm to nobody,
Not ready to meet the night.
I just wanna go home,
Somebody please leave on the light.
[Verse 2]
Steps tap sharp where the darkness breathes,
Something cold hunts me down these streets.
Called my name like it cut through bone,
Voice froze my blood, left me alone.
I ran but shadow matched every stride,
Heartbeats split where fear and hope collide.
Then that dog from childhood’s haunt,
Bigger, snarling, a ghost I can’t daunt.
[Pre-Chorus]
Scraped hands numb as I hit the ground,
Cried for someone, no one around.
His stare said I was already gone,
Like fear was the tune where dinners are drawn.
[Chorus]
I just wanna go home,
But the door’s slammed tight behind my back.
I just wanna see the dawn’s pale light
Leaking slow through the cracks.
I ain’t done no harm, no harm to nobody,
Not ready to meet the night.
I just wanna go home,
Somebody please leave on the light.
[Bridge]
Mama, I only tried to shield you,
Tried to be strong, but the world fell through.
Didn’t mean to rip our lives apart,
Never thought love could break my heart.
Frank never touched the bottle, sober pain,
I couldn’t watch the thunder rain.
Now I lie bleeding in alleys so deep,
Pray God notices before I fall into sleep.
He says it’s nothing personal,
Claims he don’t carry hate’s name.
But why’s dying feel so hollow?
Why does mercy burn like flame?
[Chorus]
I just wanna go home,
But the door’s slammed tight behind my back.
I just wanna see the dawn’s pale light
Leaking slow through the cracks.
I ain’t done no harm, no harm to nobody,
Not ready to meet the night.
I just wanna go home,
Somebody please leave on the light.
[Outro]
If I fade to dust,
If I slip out of sight,
Tell my mama I was scared,
Still held love inside.
I just wanna go home.
I just wanna go home.
Lord, six-teen years—
I just wanna go home.
