I take a walk down to the shore 

and I wonder how much longer I'll sustain these steps 

It's been a month since I've been gone 

And its been a month too long since 

You have graced me with your presence 



I smell your scent on every single shirt I wear 

I found pieces of your hair stuck to my suit case 

I try to call but the reception here is weak 

And it will still be three more weeks until I get home 



I hope your waiting by the door when I get home 

I don't want anyone to see me here alone 

It's not enough to say I think about you now 

But that was all I had, but that was all I had 

But that was all I had. 



I walk the boards alone tonight 

And try to fill this empty space inside my chest 

I take Atlantic home tonight 

And every neon light in sight spells out your name 



And every morning that I wake 

I make a point to check the date, in case 

I slept an extra day. 



I cross as many numbers out 

But every time I count them 

There are so much more 



I hope your waiting by the door when I get home 

I don't want anyone to see me here alone 

It's not enough to say I think about you now 

But that was all I had, but that was all



I hope your waiting by the door when I get home 

I don't want anyone to see me here alone 

It's not enough to say I think about you now 

But that was all I had, but that was all I had
