How's this revision? I combined the first two verses. I think it's a bit more singable now.

BACK TO HOME

This used to be home.
I turned my back and walked away
And left my home behind.
Walked away as fast as I could.
Telling no one the secret I kept within.

CHORUS
It's time.
Time to go home.
Twenty years away have been so long,
A lifetime even.
Her lifetime,
away from you,
away from home.

The lights of home shone in her eyes since the day she was born.
She has your smile, your laugh,
Things I thought I left behind.
Behind in my life,
Away from home.

CHORUS
It's time.
Time to go home.
Twenty years away have been so long,
A lifetime even.
Her lifetime,
away from you,
away from home.

I'm coming home to you.
Bringing the past with me.
Returning to where her life started.
I've been away from home too long.
I need to be back home.
