lyrics

On a swing with the sun overhead
That's when the pterodactyl landed on her sleeve
Oh the weight that she had to bear
She cried, "Why is this happening to me?"

And she struggled to walk straight
But soon she found a way
And when it was leaving
It was strange, she wished it would stay
She said, "Come back home"

Years went by and she never forgot
About that pterodactyl landed on her sleeve
Oh what luck, divine interplay
Made her what she is today

Now she speaks of the burden
as if it was a gift
And she can't shake the longing
for that moment everything clicked
She said, "Come back home"

A slow motion playback of a time
that went by too fast
And she swears if there's a next time
She will know, be quick to react
She says, "Come back home"
