so long we’ve been distant now
since you set out on your own

you told me you had to find
something to believe in

never thought you’d ever leave
but as you walked out the door

I prayed that you would soon find
all that you needed

while you’re out there on your own
if the rain starts falling or you get
too cold

if you need a place to go

oh I just want you to know
it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

oh you can come to my door
I don’t mind, I don’t mind, I don’t
mind at all

so long you’ve been searching now
but still I can see your face

the memories numb this pain
just for a moment

at night I lie sometimes
awake in my bed

repeating over + over
our conversation

right now as the moon is shining
I know you’re out somewhere + you’re
doing fine

if you ever feel alone baby

(chorus)

+ on that fateful day
you know I will be waiting

you’ll smile at me then say
you loved me all along + you’ll come
home

(chorus)
