lyrics

I see your face pop up on my cell phone, as you call
Trying to get a message through
I feel my heart start breaking as the longing comes
I want to hold you but you’re gone

I’m not sure that I can face the day alone
Though I know you’re already on your way home
And I pray to whatever might be listening, and beg for your safe return

Just a few more hours and I’ll get to hold you and
Start another perfect evening
Doesn’t matter what we do cause what makes it perfect is being together with you

Every car sounds like that Chevrolet
Maybe I’ll check under your hood today
Baby I can tune you up like nobody else can
I’ve always been good with my hands

Can I help it
I don’t think that I can
The biggest part of me is being your man
That may be all that’s left of who I am

The waiting
Feels like it’s never going to end
Haunted by a temporal anomaly
Deja’ vu’ all over again
I’ll forever be waiting...for you

Took you half past forever just to make your way but I hear you pull up into the driveway
I still have a belly full of butterflies
Even after all this time
I meet you at the door and try to take you coat
You can’t wait to put your arms around me
My heart starts breaking as I realize
You’re going right back out again

The waiting
Feels like it’s never going to end
Haunted by a temporal anomaly
Deja’ vu’ all over again
I’ll forever be waiting...for you

I’ll be waiting
I’m waiting

The waiting
Feels like it’s never going to end
Haunted by a temporal anomaly
Deja’ vu’ all over again

I’ll be waiting
I’ll be waiting
I’ll be waiting
I’ll be waiting...for you
