You've been gone much longer than you
Ever said you had the plan to
I'm just gonna wait 'til you come home
Though I count the days, they're grey without you
The weather's much better when I think about you
I'm just gonna wait 'til you come home
Empty glasses, burnt out matches
Curtains drawn on near-full blackness
I'm sleeping through the day you're coming home
To reclaim this hardship home
Never leave me
Make me burn
You're coming back
You're coming back
I'll wait patiently
For your return
You're coming back
You're coming back
I'm clutching at straws
I'm climbing up the walls
But every time I fall
Back into my hole
I'm feeling like a wretch
I'm looking for a catch
But you're an itch I can't stratch
I know you're coming back
You've been gone so long you're fading
And it takes all the time I can find just retaining
Thoughts of what we did while you were here
But I know you will return, my dear
