Longing for Home: A Heartfelt Journey in 'Miles and States'
Lyrics
I'm trying real hard, hard not to care
I am putting in a genuine effort not to be affected emotionally.
But I miss you my dear won't you come back
Expressing longing for a loved one to return.
Three weeks and then four no more nights
Counting the passing weeks, emphasizing the time spent apart.
Turning to days to be spent with you
Turning nights into days, anticipating the joy of being together.
I'll look for nightly phone calls from you
Seeking communication through nightly phone calls.
Telling me that one day has come and gone
Acknowledging the swift passage of time and days without the loved one.
I'll be home soon if you miss me
Assuring a soon return and expressing the desire to be missed.
Count down the days until my return
Counting down the days until the return, emphasizing anticipation.
I'll be counting too I always do
Expressing constant thoughts and counting related to the return.
I don't know how I'll get through this
Expressing uncertainty about overcoming the challenges of separation.
But don't worry I will
Commitment to overcoming difficulties despite uncertainty.
Your words they cut right through this
Recognizing the emotional impact of the loved one's words.
Please tell me you still care
Pleading for reassurance of continued affection and care.
I need you here, only here just for me
Expressing a strong need for the loved one's presence.
You're the one that I love
Affirming the deep love for the person being addressed.
I can't take it
Expressing difficulty in handling the emotional strain of separation.
So close to the end you're almost home Now please hurry cause
Highlighting the proximity of the end of the separation and urging a quick return.
I'll be waiting for you I always do
Expressing the consistent waiting for the loved one's return.
I don't know how I'll get through this
Reiterating uncertainty about overcoming the challenges of separation.
But don't worry I will
Reassurance of the commitment to overcoming difficulties despite uncertainty.
Your words they cut right through this
Acknowledging the emotional impact of the loved one's words.
Please tell me you still care
Pleading for reassurance of continued affection and care.
Cause I'm waiting for
Expressing a waiting period for the loved one's return.
Your return to come back home
Anticipating the return and the joy of being back home.
I need you more than you could know
Expressing a profound need for the loved one, emphasizing importance.
And I could never let you go
Affirming the commitment to never let go of the person.
I don't know how I'll get through this
Reiterating uncertainty about overcoming the challenges of separation.
But don't worry I will
Reassurance of the commitment to overcoming difficulties despite uncertainty.
Your words they cut right through this (once again)
Acknowledging the persistent emotional impact of the loved one's words.
Please tell me you still care
Pleading for reassurance of continued affection and care.
