Babe, are you coming home tonight?

Are you with her again?

Usually,

You don’t question where I’ve been sleeping

And you -

well you never question my smile.

But Babe,

are you coming home

Just tell me what I want to hear..

And I –

Will leave you alone tonight..

This is so damn complicated,

I can’t keep promises,

Neither can you,

You – I love your charismatic smile,

Me -

with my dusty red freckles,

Things were going well for a while..

But babe,

are you coming home tonight..

But now,

I’m waiting for the sun to rise,

I know everything about her,

But I don’t care anymore…

I promise you,

I don’t know what to do,

Except wait to see your smile….

So now,

The sun is starting to rise,

But now, I’ve been up for so long

I’m looking at it -

With foggy red eyes,

So babe, you didn’t come tonight –

That’s alright,

you’ll come home today..

I forgot

I don’t question where you’ve been sleeping

And you don’t question my smile..

This is not complicated,

I’ll try to keep my promises,

You – I love your charismatic smile,

Me - with my dusty red freckles,

Things have been going well for a while..

So babe,

Are you coming home tonight?

I’m a little lonely

And a little more than bored,

I’d love to see you again,

And only you know why…

I’m sorry –

I shouldn’t ask so much from you

This isn’t complicated,

Just keep promises, and make

Fewer mistakes than before,

You – I love your charismatic smile,

Me - with my dusty red freckles,

Things have been going well for a while..

And now,

You are here with me,

This is where I want to be,

Its been three days,

babe

Since you’ve been gone things have changed,

My heart is rearranged,

But please don’t leave,

We come so far since we met –

I won’t ever forget you…

Time will tell if you forget me

This isn’t complicated,

Just keep promises, and make

Fewer mistakes than before,

You – I love your charismatic smile,

Me - with my dusty red freckles,

Things were going well for a while..

But now,

You are here with me

This is where I want to be,

Let’s talk for a while –

but only about things that make us smile..

So now,

I’m not lonely anymore

And far from bored… you are here with me,

This is where I want to be….

This is where I want to be

Until one day I had enough,

I turned to the bottle

Didn’t realize it would make my life rough,

Neither of us smile, anymore

And are lonely all the time,

But now,

You’re next to me,

But we couldn’t be father apart..

We don’t love us anymore

And neither of us smile…

Its been three days

And I’m sorry things have changed

Its just that

My heart has been rearranged,

Things have changed,

My heart has been rearranged.

Things were going well for a while

I'm sorry

But now you're a bore

This love is an excruciating chore..

We've said good bye to many times before

You - I love your charasmatic smile

Me - and my dusty red freckles

things were going well for a while

But not anymore

This is the final goodbye

We've haven't reached this point before

Its been three days..

My heart is rearranged..
