[Lyric]

Verse 1:
Darling, please don't let this silence stretch too far down the line,
'Cause you're the only one who holds this joy of mine.
This old house feels empty as a broken promise in the air,
When you're sad, it's like half of me ain't even here.
The clock on the wall keeps saying over these fights we must grow—
And our love don't mean nothing till I see your headlights start to show.

Chorus:
Ain't nothing quite as lonely as waking up with you silent to me,
And every love song on the radio's missing half its beats.
These arms of mine are aching from cannot holding you tite during the night—
So come on back home, darling, before I lose this fight.
'Cause every mile between us feels like a thousand more,
And I swear this heart can't take this hurting anymore.

Verse 2:
Lord, I've tried keeping busy, but these days just drag on by,
Like an old truck stuck in neutral watching cars pass in the night.
Your coffee mug's still sitting right where you left it on that day,
And these walls keep echoing with all the words we didn't say.
The radio keeps playing every song that makes me think of you—
And I catch myself watching that driveway like it's all I know how to do.

Bridge:
Remember that summer night in the back of your Chevy truck,
Stars scattered like diamonds, your old jacket keeping me warm?
Now I'm watching these four walls and counting down my luck,
Wondering if you're thinking 'bout me through this storm.

Chorus :
Ain't nothing quite as lonely as waking up to empty sheets,
And every love song on the radio's missing half its beats.
These arms of mine are aching from holding nothing but air tonight—
So come on back home, darling, before I lose this fight.
'Cause every mile between us feels like a thousand more,
And I swear this heart can't take it like it could before.

Outro:
So baby, when that open road starts feeling too long and cold,
Remember there's a heart back here that's turning mighty old.
Just point that truck toward home whenever you start feeling blue—
'Cause I'll be right here waiting on this highway back to you,
With your coffee cup ready and that porch swing calling your name,
Honey, nothing in this house works right until you're home again.
