[Verse 1]
Sleepless nights and endless days
And all I do is promise to change my ways
Leave the lights on, you know
I'll pretend you're on your way
You used to say that there's a time
We all deserve to lose our minds
So I lost my mind, now I'm ready
To find my way, hey, hey

[Chorus]
Back home today to stay
The way you wished I would
And I swear to stay
The way you wished I would

[Verse 2]
I don't know if I'm gonna have to redesign my mind
But tonight I made a wish and I sure hope that it comes true
Because it's been too long without you it's been too long
Come home today to stay
The way you wished I would
And I swear to stay
The way I wish you would
Even if I left it all behind
There'd be reason to come back
And even though I left you far behind
Always thought that you'd come here
To find me, come, find me
I don't know if I can wait this long
To be what I used to be
I don't think I can wait much longer for the tide
To come back to me, come back to me

[Chorus]
Back home today to stay
The way you wished I would
And I swear to stay
The way you wished I would

[Outro]
The way I wish you would
I swear to stay
The way I wish you would
Come home to stay, yeah, yeah

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
