So now   Won't make it today   You're on the highway   Taking the long way home   Slowly but surely   You're on your way now   You're on your way down   To your town   Won't make it today   Won't say you're sorry   Won't even call to say you're late   You missed the parade   You missed your birthday   Missed every single holiday   Forgot your way home   It's been too long now   Too much has changed now   It's been too many yesterdays   And she waited   By the front gate   With a smile on her face   And she waited   And she waited   Never made it   Again today   It's never okay   Another delay   Another disappointing day   I hope you're lonely   And empty handed   I hope you're stranded   You took the wrong way to her heart   And she waited   And she waited   As her smile fades away
