You are the ghost inside my mirror
Empty promises I've made
If only I could show you
The man I am today
I've been searching for the words to say I miss you
I've been waiting for the day you come back home

Take me back to the days when we were only 17
Take me back to the way we always fought every little thing
I've been searching for the words to say I miss you
I've been waiting for the day you come back home

Shaking, falling to my bathroom floor again
Feeling your head on the door again
I stay up all night
And I keep wondering why isn't this just
Like the stories we told when I was a kid
I thought we keep growing old in the
Place that we met and you'd meet all my kids
But I'm still up all night

Take me back to the days when we were only 17
Take me back to the way we always fought every little thing
I've been searching for the words to say I miss you
I've been waiting for the day you come back home
Oh yeah
Hey
I've been waiting for the day you come back home

Take me back to the days when we were only 17
Take me back to the way we always fought every little thing
I've been searching for the words to say I miss you
(I've been searching for the words to say I miss you)
I've been waiting for the day you come back home
(I've been waiting for the day you come back home)
I know I'm okay but I fucking miss you
And I know you're not coming back home
