Take me back
Take me home
Take me away
From this road
I need to rest
I need to sleep
I need to stop
So I can breathe
I have no strength
I have no fight
I have no way
Through the night
Just take me home
It would be nice to see you for awhile
Just take me back
Across 4000 miles
It's been so long since I've been with you
It's been so long since I have seen your face
It's been so long that I have missed you
It's been so long that it might be too late
All of the years that we have wasted
All of the time we let pass us by
All of the hate that we've been keeping
All of the shame that restrains our hi's
It's been so long since I have hugged you
It's been so long since I have heard your words
It's been so long that I can't remember
It's been so long that it's just absurd
All of the lines that we've been breaking
All of the drugs that have numbed our minds
All of the ones that we have failed
All of the lives that have said goodbye
It's been so long since I forgave you
It's been so long since I slipped away
It's been so long that I can't take it
It's been so long that I am not okay
I can't keep going down
This lonely road
I just can't take it
Please take me home
I need to settle
I need some peace
I need to reconnect
With my family
I've been travelling on
For way too long
Lost so many
Of the ones I loved
I need release
The cage is cold
I need the finish
I'm coming home
Across the space divide
4000 miles

A great write in the literal sense and also if taken metaphorically well done
