Lyrics

Another Saturday morning, time to get outta bed. I really need to brush my teeth, and comb my head. but I got no one to see.
Well, I'm looking in the mirror, and I realize I used to brave. I used to be one of those happy guys. But now I find myself speaking to the sky...

Will you come back to me this morning?
Will you come back to me this day?
Maybe you'll come back to me this evening.
'Cause I've waited so long just to hear you whisper,
"I'm here to stay."

Well, I meant to get dressed by a quarter of ten, and I'm getting really hungry for some eggs, and grits, and orange juice, and maybe some bacon.
Ahhh, but the grease from the bacon is burning my arms. And the eggs are runny. And the grits are crusty. And the O.J. is sour. And I realize there's no more breakfast in bed.

Will you come back to me this morning?
Will you come back to me this day?
Maybe you'll come back to me this evening.
'Cause I've waited so long just to hear you whisper,
"I'm here to stay."

There's one thing I used to be sure of: that's me and you, and the way we loved... I guess I need to update the way I show you I love you.

So will you come back to me this morning?
Will you come back to me this day?
Maybe you'll come back to me this evening.
'Cause I've waited so long just to hear you whisper,
"I'm here to stay."
