You are the ghost inside my mirror Empty promises I've made If only I could show you The man I am today I've been searching for the words to say I miss you I've been waiting for the day you come back home Take me back to the days when we were only 17 Take me back to the way we always fought every little thing I've been searching for the words to say I miss you I've been waiting for the day you come back home Shaking, falling to my bathroom floor again Feeling your head on the door again I stay up all night And I keep wondering why isn't this just Like the stories we told when I was a kid I thought we keep growing old in the Place that we met and you'd meet all my kids But I'm still up all night Take me back to the days when we were only 17 Take me back to the way we always fought every little thing I've been searching for the words to say I miss you I've been waiting for the day you come back home Oh yeah Hey I've been waiting for the day you come back home Take me back to the days when we were only 17 Take me back to the way we always fought every little thing I've been searching for the words to say I miss you (I've been searching for the words to say I miss you) I've been waiting for the day you come back home (I've been waiting for the day you come back home) I know I'm okay but I fucking miss you And I know you're not coming back home
