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 it,
I squeeze you to make 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 consul me,
but you're all the consulation I ever needed.
Years of smelling the clothes you left behind,
photographs it seems 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,
because 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 eyes (I hold you as we lose control)
Together, our hearts beating so hard,
Hold on,
baby we're almost home.
