your letter said it was love that kept you from leaving for so long.
said that love is a flame that burns until all the oxygen is gone.
but now the fire is out and you're suffocating,
world is turning blue.
where there once was an 'us' and 'we'
now there's only 'me' and 'you'.
i read it every day.
i know it all by heart.
those are the words that tore my world apart.
baby, come home tonight because i miss you.
baby, come home tonight. you know you've been away too long.
why do we always fight? what are the issues?
why do we always fight? how come we just can't get along?
we'll hide it inside a box so i can pretend that it's not real
and for a while believe you feel the same way you used to feel.
and any minute, you'll walk through the door
and throw your arms around my neck
or maybe it will be ice cold hands that want to strangle me to death.
but i know what you will be for halloween this year.
you're going as my girlfriend. you make it so painfully clear.
baby, come home tonight because i miss you.
baby, come home tonight. you know you've been away too long.
why do we always fight? what are the issues?
why do we always fight? how come we just can't get along?
how come we just can't get along? [x2]
because i miss you. [x9]
