lyrics

It's been so long
but baby I'm coming home.
Who cares whose wrong,
maybe we should change our tone
It's just the conversations that we have
are never quite the same on the phone
so I'm coming
'cause it's been so long.

I wrote a note a day or two ago
and sent it away to your house
and as I walk up to the door I know
I need to be as quiet as a mouse
because it's 2AM and I don't know where you've been
the house looks like you've had someone in
But the thumping in my head is the thumping of the bed
and the note is unopened in the rubbish bin.

This is your slow song
telling you so long.
So long.

This is so long
Baby, I should have known.
I lef the note I sent so that you would
know I have been and gone.
I'll remember all the good times that we've had
but it's time I went out on my own.
So I'm no coming home.
This is so long.
This is so long.
This is your slow song.
