Story Behind The Song

This song was written from a personal perspective and experience of someone being far away. The person was actually myself. I was working overseas and feeling homesick, but the song is written from the perspective of another person.

Song Description

A song about feeling remorse about a loved one who is far away and longing them to come back. Refusing to move on.

Lyrics

Verse 1
-------
Day after day when the lights go down
I'm happy with this feeling heavy on the ground
I drift through Sunday morning like it wasn't part of life
I'd think about you darling but I know I'd pay the price (later on)

Verse 2
-------
Silence is here where did that come from
Still I can hear your heartbeat banging like a drum
Someone I need is far away
Taking my dreams away from me

Chorus
--------
Why'd you stray so far from here
You know that I can't sleep alone
To your heart I know this seems so crystal clear
But to these eyes you seem to be alone (for a while)

Verse 3
-------
Scratching around for some words to say
Hoping that you'll hear them, hoping they'll convey
My empty world, for you're astray
Find your way home someday

Chorus

Middle 8
------
I feel helpless and weak in your arms
But I still keep faith in my heart
Can't let it go away
Shine on baby
Come into my heart baby
Shine through baby
Oh ho - come home again
