You'Re Way Back Home
It’s so extremely painful to keep holding on to you
When I’m not sure you really want me to
Yet it’s so extremely painful to let you go
Just when I thought I had finally pushed through and moved on
There you are in my life again
I want to walk back to you slowly, yet there I am again running full steam ahead
You take the time, the precious moments, to make it all so blissful and feel right
Then I hear nothing from you and I’m left crying deep within the lonely nights
This thing we call love is all so damn confusing
I’m in love with you and only you even more than words can say
I’ve felt your touch, heard your voice, and had you here with me although you’re so far away
There are miles that separate us, but I don’t really care
I do would about anything to get to you if you really wanted me there
I’m not asking you to take me back tomorrow, or even the day after that
I’m not asking you to ask me to marry you in the near future
I would, however, be lying if I said I didn’t hope for these things
I expect nothing at all from you
Just cause I feel this way don’t mean you feel it for me to
But I’m asking for a chance to prove to you this is how I feel
I’m asking for the chance to show you what love really is and all I have in my heart is real
It’s never to late to try
You have to sometimes let your heart fall
You have to let go and love
It’s the only way to find whom it is you seek to spend your life with
You’re my sunset, and my sunrise
You’re that endless twinkle in my eyes
You’re my candle blowing in the wind
You’re my full moon that hangs over all I am in that far off mist
But I think, for now, I must once again painfully try to leave you alone
You must try now to find you’re way back to me with open arms
You have to find you’re way back home
