Lyrics
It's been a long hard year, to be without you here
and nothing ever seems to change
What's another wasted day?
These memories keep me awake and I dream that you've come home
But do you want me still? Like I want you now
A year ago you kept your word and left to go and save the world
and I watched you walk away
There was nothing that could keep you then from a choice I know you'd choose again
I wouldn't try to make you stay
(Chorus)
Now I'm waiting for tomorrow
Waiting for that ship to come
Waiting for the day when you'll be home
And I'll (we'll) pick these pieces up again
and wrap my arms around you again
Waiting for the day when you'll be home
Sometimes the world can seem so bright
Then it turns around and leaves you dry
I never will forget the day
The world turned and it took you away
But I know yesterday won't change
(Chorus)
