I’ve been waiting for you, I’m all alone
As I go to sleep, I look to the right of me
But there’s no one laying there, that’s where you were supposed to be
Are you coming home?


It’s been three years since the last time I saw you
I lie here thinking what if you were here too
You not being here makes me feel trapped in a dome
Are you coming home?


Punching my pillow and laying on my back
When on earth are you coming back from Iraq
Eventually, I stop crying and wipe the tears off my face
Are you coming home?


Three went by swift, it feels like a Jesse Owens race
Thousands of miles away, all I want to see is your face
I’ve been waiting for you, I’m all alone
Are you coming home?
