Dido Lyrics
"Coming Home"

He feels her smile when he's afraid
It reminds him of his life before she went away
He might crumble
But he'll not fall if the memory of his only love can stay that way

Still has his dreams
They will get him through 'til his life means something more than to lose
'Cause he's still wondering when she's coming home
And he'll tell her what he's done today
He doesn't want to lose this memory
Of the only part of life to him that's safe

Still hears her key turn in the door
Disappointment running through him
She's not coming anymore
He sees his friends
Turns on that charm but his heart's not in it
Doesn't want to move on

He has his dreams
They will get him through 'til his life means something more than to lose
'Cause he's still wondering when she's coming home
And he'll tell her what he's done today
He doesn't want to lose this memory
Of the only part of life to him that's safe

He's missing out on life
Because he doesn't know how long to keep her in his mind
His life's been hers too long
And now he's picking up the pieces just to stay alive

And he's still wondering when she's coming home
And he'll tell her what he's done today
He doesn't want to lose this memory
Of the only part of life to him that's safe
