I've been gone for so long

And how i've missed you

My heart was aching for home And then one night as i lay down

Somewhere far from you

I dreamt that I heard you call my name

But my mind was playing games I knew right then that I'd return

To where I was before

And I was so tired of being away

That I just couldn't stay anymore What did I ever come here for?

oh no no no no no

What did i ever come here for? I thought if I showed up in the night

In my best disguise

There was a doorway in your porch light

That you would look into my eyes

And you would realize who i am

Put your arms around me

You're gonna love me so much more

Than you ever did before What did i ever come here for?

oh no no no no no

What did i ever come here for? It wasn't too long before

I showed up at your door

I've been gone a thousand miles i didn't know how much more i could stand

If I could stand at all

You said it looked like i'd been through World War Two

And my soul was worn right through I thought you would read my mind

I thought you'd ask me to stay

You never turned me away like before

But you closed your door anyway What did i ever come here for?

oh no no no no no

What did i ever come here for?

oh no no no no no

What did i ever come here for?

oh no no no no no

What did i ever come here for?
