Come Back Slowly

If you're still out there…  
Just take your time
Every night, I leave the light  
Like you might walk in, just out of sight  
I don’t rush to fall asleep  
I wait for dreams you sometimes keep
They say to move on, close the door  
But I still check the hall once more
Come back slowly, take your time  
I’ll be here with patient eyes  
Even if it’s just a dream  
Even if it’s never clean  
Love like ours can still survive  
So come back slowly…  
Into my life
I left your side of the bed untouched  
Just in case it means that much  
Your sweater still holds something true  
I wear it just to feel you too
I’m not asking for forever  
Only pieces back together
Come back slowly, take your time  
I’ll be here with patient eyes  
Even if it’s just a dream  
Even if it’s never clean  
Love like ours can still survive  
So come back slowly…  
Into my life
(come back… slowly… if you still care…)  
(I’m here… I’ll wait… I swear…)  
(come back… come back…)
