Waiting For You

It is too late to call,

too early to sleep Your name still sits where my hand used

to be

I left my jacket on the kitchen chair Like I might come

back and find you there The clock keeps cutting the hour in

two And every half still turns toward you I keep rehearsing what

I meant to say

Then lose the nerve and put the phone away

I tell myself the missing will pass But the glass by the

sink still waits

If pride is a door,

mine is cracked And I am standing at the gate

I need you here

when the night gets heavy

When the walls remember every vow

I have been strong,

but I am not ready

To learn how to live without you now If your heart is

awake somehow

Come back, come back,

come back around

Your sweatshirt still hangs by the bedroom door I pass it like

a promise I cannot ignore Friends keep saying time will turn the

page But time just circles back to your face

I know we broke more than one little rule

I would break the silence if you wanted me to

I need you here

when the night gets heavy

When the walls remember every vow

I have been strong,

but I am not ready

To learn how to live without you now If your heart is

awake somehow

Come back, come back,

come back around (ooh) come back

around

Maybe forgiveness is not a road

Maybe it is one step on the floor

I would meet you where the hurt got old

I would not ask for more I need you here when the

night gets heavy I am not ready to let go now If

your heart is awake somehow Come back,

come back, come back around
