I've been away fighting hard to stay alive
And I don't know when I'll be coming home
(When I'll be coming home)
Day after day never ending sleepless nights
Waking up to replay them in my mind
And it might kill me if I try
To pretend that its all behind me
Tell myself that it wasn't meant to be
Is that I make it through the night
So the words that I've kept inside me
Will get a chance to see the light
I've been away fighting hard to stay alive
And I don't know when I'll be coming home
(When I'll be coming home)
Day after day never ending sleepless nights
Waking up to replay them in my mind
It's hard to see behind the sun
But like the stars in the sky
You just won't see it until
The night is growing near
So I'll wait up and watch the light
I'll know the battle was won
Once I see the stars burn bright
I've been away fighting hard to stay alive
And I don't know when I'll be coming home
(When I'll be coming home)
Day after day never ending sleepless nights
Waking up to replay them in my mind
My only prayer is that this ship that we built ourselves
Doesn't get taken by the waves
And have its pieces sent to hell
I've been away fighting hard to stay alive
And I don't know when I'll be coming home
