Every night I've been on my own
I dream of you and comin' home
Those empty hours spent missin' you
Are over now did what I had to
I live from day to day
Tryin' to find my way
Now I need to know you care
Will you still be there?
'Cause I'll be home tonight
Tell me you will be waiting
It's been way too long
You've been on my mind
And my heart has been aching
Ever since I've been gone
So turn on the light
'Cause I'll be home tonight
It's hard to face the fear inside
Wonderin' how we both survive
The desperate times we made it through.
Now in the end I'm comin back to you.
I live from day to day
Tryin' to find my way
Now I need to know you care
Will you still be there?
'Cause I'll be home tonight
Tell me you will be waiting
It's been way too long
You've been on my mind
And my heart has been aching
Ever since I've been gone
So turn on the light
'Cause I'll be home tonight
I'll be home tonight, tonight
(I'll be home)
'Cause I'll be home tonight
Tell me you will be waiting
It's been way too long.
You've been on my mind
And my heart has been aching
Ever since I've been gone
I'll be home tonight,
I'll be home tonight.
