Jake Aarons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Long distance, you're overseas
But I'm on my way
'Cuz I don't care
I wanna see
You in my arms
To fall asleep
To stay with meI am not so sure
If I should come or go
Whatcha waiting for?
Just let me know
Tell me it's fine
To come tonight
Sometimes I wish that I could read your mind
So I wouldn't have to overthink all night
'Cuz
You have been so distant lately
I don't know why
What have I done
Are you alright?
Oh why
And I've been missing you like crazy
Where have you gone?
Left me alone
Could you come home?
Or just call me
Have you had a change of heart
Since the last time
We were running around
Or have you found
Somebody else to
Spill your heart out
Just like we used to do
You miss me like I miss you
Miss me like I miss you
You have been so distant lately
I don't know why
What have I done
Are you alright?
Oh why
And I've been missing you like crazy
Where have you gone?
Left me alone
Could you come home?
Or just call me
You have been so distant lately
I don't know why
What have I done
Are you alright?
Oh why
And I've been missing you like crazy
Where have you gone?
Left me alone
Could you come home?
Or just call me back
