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 ahir, oh love, I can't believe you 
I squeeze you to make sure you're really here and I'm overwhelmed 

[CHORUS] 
I've been waiting for so long 
to touch you and sleep in yours arms 
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 
The photographs that seemed 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 

[CHORUS] 

You check the clock, it's time to go 
You grab your keps 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, bab,y we're almost home
