Only A Year Or So...

(الألبوم: The Tide And Its Takers - 2008)

I want you to come home
I'm tired of being alone
And it's making me sick not knowing if you're safe and alright
The kids are growing up so fast
And knowing you're missing them
And they're missing you, has given me a pain so deep inside
Something from this world can't explore
Lately I feel like I've been becoming someone else
Someone I don't recognise, and someone I don't even like
I need you here to help me remember what it's like to truly be alive
Everyday I try my best to not get completely overwhelmed with you being gone
Please tell me how to be strong
Because everyday I am so worried I could lose you
There are so many things going on, so many things I want to share with you
I'm selfish for wanting you home, I know, but I really can't help it
I need you
We need you
I love you completely
I just want you to come home

Only a year or so they said
You won't miss out on anything
Save me from, free me from despair
(I just want you to come home)
When the world is really dead

I lay at night thinking of you and the kids
Trying to put this into perspective and understand the world
So much is happening in my life and I can't seem to put a finger on who I am
And these are the times I wonder what I was thinking
I mean what the hell was I thinking
Everyone says we're heroes, but I feel like I've abandoned you
I could feel the blood racing through my body
And know that I'm growing distant from the world

Only a year or so they said
You won't miss out on anything
Save me from, free me from despair
And know that I'm growing distant from the world
When the world's really dead
The wait is over
Stuck inside this mess
Dying alone, you're all on your own
Praying to get out alive
Alive, praying to get out alive
Alive, praying to get out alive
