lyrics

It's been two hours
We went our separate ways
No time could fill all we wanted to say
I'd dread the day
Hoped I would be numb
Cause I never thought this day would come
Hasn't taken long for time to prove that I'm too dependent on you
And I look down, hope the phone will ring
Surprise, no missed calls or anything

Guess this is preparation for higher education
And I guess this consternation builds up anticipation

Please come home
Cause it sucks saying goodnight with no one else on the phone
Please come home
Cause it sucks saying goodnight when you're not at home

It's been two days
Making no progress
Cause I'm writing you longer messages
Reading your old letters
They act like postcards
Who knew vacation could be this hard?
Hasn't been long at all
At the start of the road
Looks like we've got quite a lot more ways to go
But it's good to know that you're having the time
Wish someone would come and speed up mine

It's been two weeks
I can see the light
Almost forgotten what your kiss feels like
For you its vacation, for me its hell
Life's just different, can't you tell?
You can't have summer without some rain
Guess you can't have love without some pain
I wanna hold you in my arms and fall asleep
Being gone is hard even just for weeks
