Your socks 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 makes sure you're really here
And I'm overwhelmed.

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...
Photographs that seem 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.

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.

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 arms.
I hold you as we lose control...
Together our hearts beating so hard...
Hold on, baby, we're almost home.
