Your sock's on the wood floor the moment I'd hoped for I'm terrified to think you might be real I curl up behind you fit my body to yours like a shell I smell your hair, oh love, I can't believe you I squeeze you to make sure you're really here and I'm overwhelmed
[CHORUS:] I've been waiting for so long To touch you and sleep in your eyes and now as my heart's beating so hard I hold on and keep you at home in my arms
They tried to console me but you're all the consolation I ever needed years of smelling the clothes you left behind The photographs that seemed so far away I don't need them now you turn to me alive, awake, and blinking, baby "Back so soon?" you ask, but I smile 'cause I never left at all
[CHORUS]
You check the clock, it's time to go You grab your keys and you're out the door I step outside and you're waving goodbye It's all happening again like before as you're starting the car and I'm tearing inside I knock on your window, you stop just in time Around to the other side I say, "Baby, I thought I'd come along for the ride."
I've been waiting for so long (Time slows, and I take your hand) to touch you and sleep in your eyes (I hold you as we lose control) Together our hearts beating so hard Hold on, baby, we're almost home
