I miss you more than you could know
I watch the grass on the back lawn grow
And I will not allow winds of change to blow
And I hope you decide to come back home

Cause this heavy heart, oh, how it's yearned
Cause I've been alone far too long
When are you coming home, my love?
My love

You reach out for me in the night
And an errant finger pokes me in the eye
And I leave your contact lenses on the bedside table
And I'm hoping you decide to come back home

Cause this heavy heart, oh, how it's yearned
Cause I've been alone far too long
When are you coming home, my love?
My love

Oh, you went running with my heart
And it's a long, long, long way back
And this right here, well it just ain't living
Oh, I want you to come back

Well I've been alone far too long
When are you coming home, my love?
Well I've been alone far too long
When are you coming home, my love?
My love
[x2]

Song facts

"Actually, a couple of songs have their origins maybe seven years ago, in 2007, but I wrote this song at the end of 2009 and it was the first song that I'd written that I was really proud of and the first that was coherent and made sense. So it got me on the path of songwriting and that I guess was where the dream, to become a songwriter, began, to keep writing songs. I really think the heart of the song is in some of the details, like the grass in the backyard growing, and watching it grow over time, reaching over in the middle of the night and accidentally poking the other person in the eye. Those little bits, those are the flavoursome parts of the song." - Vance Joy
