I know you said you'd be back soon and I said I'm okay But every shade of the sky since you left has been so gray And now I dream of your face and the day that you promise me "I'm here to stay" Oh, everything's so different when you're home Right now everything's off-center You know I have never been too good at sudden change But even sunlight through the window, it's just not the same at all Everything's so different when you're home You know I get so scared when I'm tired and lonely (when I'm tired and lonely) And every day that goes by makes the time move so slowly (move so slowly) And so I dream of your face and the day that you promise me "I'm here to stay" Oh, everything's so different when you're home Right now everything's off-center And you know I have never been too good at sudden change But even sunlight through the window, it's just not the same at all Everything's so different (different) I know, it won't be long Until I see your face again, oh And I know, I must be strong 'Cause that is what you asked of me, yeah Everything's so different when you're home Right now everything's off-center And you know I have never been too good at sudden change But even sunlight through the window Everything's so different when you're home
