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
