I take a walk down to the shore
and I wonder how much longer I'll sustain these steps
It's been a month since I've been gone
And its been a month too long since
You have graced me with your presence
I smell your scent on every single shirt I wear
I found pieces of your hair stuck to my suit case
I try to call but the reception here is weak
And it will still be three more weeks until I get home
I hope your waiting by the door when I get home
I don't want anyone to see me here alone
It's not enough to say I think about you now
But that was all I had, but that was all I had
But that was all I had.
I walk the boards alone tonight
And try to fill this empty space inside my chest
I take Atlantic home tonight
And every neon light in sight spells out your name
And every morning that I wake
I make a point to check the date, in case
I slept an extra day.
I cross as many numbers out
But every time I count them
There are so much more
I hope your waiting by the door when I get home
I don't want anyone to see me here alone
It's not enough to say I think about you now
But that was all I had, but that was all
I hope your waiting by the door when I get home
I don't want anyone to see me here alone
It's not enough to say I think about you now
But that was all I had, but that was all I had
