I take a walk down to the shore
And I wonder how much longer Ill sustain these steps
Its been a month since Ive 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 find pieces of your hair stuck to my suitcase
I try to call but the reception here is weak
And itll still be three more weeks until I get home

I hope your waiting by the door when I get home
I dont want anyone to see me here alone
Its not enough to say I think about you now
But that was all I had

I walk the boards alone tonight and try to fill this empty space inside my chest
I took Atlantic home tonight and every neon light, and sign, spelt out your name
And every morning that I wake
I make a point to check the date incase I slept an extra day
Ive crossed so many numbers out
But every time I count them there are so much more
