Part IV: Morning In May

Your socks on the wood floor
The moment I'd hoped for
I'm terrified to think you might be real

I curl up behind you
Fit my body to yours like a shell
I smell your hair, oh love, I can't believe you.
I squeeze you
To make sure you're really here
And I'm overwhelmed.

[CHORUS]
I've been waiting for so long
To touch you and sleep in your eyes
And now, as my heart's beating so hard,
I hold on
And keep you at home in my arms.

They tried to console me
But you're all the consolation I ever needed.
Years of smelling the clothes you left behind,
The photographs that seemed so far away.
I don't need them now - you turn to me alive, awake, and blinking. "Baby,
Back so soon?" you ask, but I smile, 'cause I never left at all

[CHORUS]

You check the clock, it's time to go.
You grab your keys and you're out the door
I step outside and you're waving goodbye.
It's all happening again like before.
As you're starting the car and I'm tearing inside,
I knock on your window. You stop just in time.
Around to the other side,
I say,
"Baby,
I thought I'd come along for the ride."

I've been waiting for so long
(Time slows, and I take your hand)
To touch you and sleep in your eyes.
(I hold you as we lose control)
Together, our hearts beating so hard.
Hold on.
Baby, we're almost home...
