Like a restless child, he lays Half awake and daydreaming of home With a solid heartbeat and heavy breathing in his ears The silence alone tells the story of a man so far from home It's been a while now since they shared a bed The days are alive but the nights feel so dead When the lights go out, the guilt runs straight to his head 'Cause she's drowning each night in the tears that she sheds When they're miles apart and the hours grow longer With distance between them When he's on the road, she's all alone But it won't be too long till he's coming home With a sleepless mind, she lays Half awake, can't stop thinking of him 'Cause he's living his dream, she wouldn't have it any other way But the silence alone tells a story of two people When they're miles apart and the hours grow longer With distance between them When he's on the road, she's all alone But the wheels keep on turning It won't be long until I'm home Coming home, they'll be together I'm the road, coming home I can't stay forever It calls me and I have to answer I know I know that you're all alone when I'm on the road
