Waiting for you to come home Is like hoping that the clouds will sit still I could waste away the day looking up, And pray into the sky that they will Waiting for you to come home Is like hoping the guilty will confess I could put all my faith in the system But I will never settle for less And oh, I guess that one day I will learn That oh, I shouldn't be staring at the clock But just in case you return, I'll keep the door unlocked And waiting for you to come home Is like learning how to quit while you're ahead I know I should get up and walk away But I'll take my chances instead And oh, I guess that one day I will learn That oh, I shouldn't be staring at the clock But just in case you return, I'll keep the door And oh, I guess that one day I will learn That oh, I should be ready for the shock But just in case you return, I'll keep the door unlocked,
