"Part IV: Morning In May"
Your sock's on the wood floor
the moment I'd hoped for
I'm terrified to think you might be real
I curl up behind you
fit my body to yours like a shell
I smell your hair, oh love, I can't believe you
I squeeze you to make sure you're really here and I'm overwhelmed
[CHORUS:]
I've been waiting for so long
To touch you and sleep in your eyes
and now as my heart's beating so hard
I hold on and keep you at home in my arms
They tried to console me
but you're all the consolation I ever needed
years of smelling the clothes you left behind
The photographs that seemed so far away
I don't need them now
you turn to me alive, awake, and blinking, baby
"Back so soon?" you ask, but I smile 'cause I never left at all
[CHORUS]
You check the clock, it's time to go
You grab your keys and you're out the door
I step outside and you're waving goodbye
It's all happening again like before
as you're starting the car and I'm tearing inside
I knock on your window, you stop just in time
Around to the other side
I say, "Baby, I thought I'd come along for the ride."
I've been waiting for so long
(Time slows, and I take your hand)
to touch you and sleep in your eyes
(I hold you as we lose control)
Together our hearts beating so hard
Hold on, baby, we're almost home
