Lately, I’ve been taking the backroads and longways
Baby, to the places I found you before
I know it was over a long time before now
I’m just hoping you didn’t let go

Some days I just wander around in our memories
Some days I can’t stand to be near where you’ve been
Both ways I am always aware of your presence
And I’m hoping you’ll let me back in

I’m just better with you than I ever could be on my own
I’m just better with you as my family, my shelter, my home

So now, as I stand in your doorway debating
Should I let you know that I’m back or sit still
Waiting for your kindness, your sweetness, your mercy
Bridge the gap between my pride and my will

May I breathe your breath
May I drink your words like wine
May I draw you near
And even call you mine
