If I keep holding out will the light shine through?
Under this broken roof it's only rain that I feel.
I've been wishing out the days.
Come back.

I have been planning out all that I'd say to you.
Since you slipped away, know that I still remain true.
I've been wishing out the days

Please say that if you hadn't of gone now
I wouldn't have lost you another way.
From wherever you are, come back.

And these days, they linger on.
And in the night, I'm waiting on
The real possibility I may meet you in my dreams.
I go to sleep.

If I don't fall apart will the memory stay clear?
So you had to go.
And I had to remain here.

But the strangest thing to date.
So far away and yet you feel so close.
And I'm not gonna question it any other way.

There must be an open door for you to come back.
