Baby, I can't sleep. The cars that pass outside flood my room with light

'Til I wish I was gone windows down and rollin' to your door.

Just 20 minutes gone. Shirt sweat on your arm rest and a sadness in your bones.

Em C D

And I wish you were home, 'Cause I'm tired of being strong for when you go.
