(Brooker / Sutherland) 

I've been waiting 
For you to come home 
It's such a long time 
So all alone 
And when the night comes 
It hits me so hard 
Thinking about you 
And where you've gone 
Why don't you come home 
Why don't you come home 
Why don't you come home 

You've got me wondering 
What would I do now 
If you don't come back 
How can I get through now 
The way I see it 
Sooner or later 
You're gonna miss me 
Then you'll come running back 
Why don't you come home 
Why don't you come home 
Why don't you come home 

Every time I hear the telephone 
I run and pick it up 
Hoping it you to say you're coming back 
Every time I see the setting sun 
I can't help counting the days you've been gone 

The way I see it 
Sooner or later 
You're gonna miss me 
Then you'll come running back 
When the night comes 
It hits me so hard 
I gets me hurtin' 
It hits me so hard 
Why don't you come home 
Why don't you come home 
Why don't you come home
