You've been gone much longer

Than you ever said you had the plan to

I'm just gonna wait 'till 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 till 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 heart you owned

Lover

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 that I can't scratch

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 things we did while you were here

But I know you will return my dear
