Lyrics
I lay at night and wonder how long
Contemplating the duration of my emotional state during sleep
I'll live feeling this way
Reflecting on the persistent nature of my current feelings
Because countless days have come and gone by
Acknowledging the passage of numerous days without change
And not a thing has changed
Noting the lack of transformation despite the elapsed time
I still haven't seen
Expressing a desire to witness your joyful expressions
You when you're smiling
Longing to see your smiling face
In way too long
Highlighting the extended period since observing your happiness
It's been way too long
Reiterating the prolonged absence of your joyful demeanor
You say that I'm not there but you could fall apart
Addressing the perception of not being present but expressing commitment
And I'd pick up the pieces
Assuring readiness to support and mend broken pieces
And I'd tell you even though it's hard
Admitting difficulty but affirming belief in the significance of the person
You're all that I believe in
Affirming strong belief and dedication to the person
So here I'll stay, and I'll wait until you come back
Committing to wait until the person's return
You left me waiting, just left me waiting
Expressing the emotional impact of being left waiting
And now I'll watch the time fly by
Acknowledging the passage of time while waiting
Maybe I believe
Expressing hope in the person's eventual return
That you'll return with the changing leaves
Associating the return with the changing seasons
And help me finally put to rest this aching in my head
Desiring closure for the emotional distress
Nothing can relieve the empty feeling inside of me
Emphasizing the persistent emptiness within
Come home tonight, come home tonight
Inviting the person to come home tonight
It'll be alright if you just come home tonight
Providing reassurance that everything will be alright if the person returns
