Exin’ off the days till you’re home I stare at the calendar when I'm all alone And I knew it'd be tough But I thought I'd be tougher than this Exin' off the days I’m still gone A day, week or month, babe it always feels long Yeah I knew it'd be tough But I thought we'd be tougher than this And the ups and the downs can be so tough to predict Tappin’ the trees for their sap Put it on pancakes and the dog gets the scraps Yeah it’s some kind of breakfast But it’s better when you're here with us The hotel room could not connect (Well I’m sure you forgot) Yeah, last night I got wrecked And it’s a tough kind of morning It’d be better if you’d answer the phone You don't know how hard it is to be home And you don't know how hard it is to be gone We could meet in the middle but the middle’s too far in between The ups and the downs are so hard to predict The world on each side can be hard to depict The easiest thing for us both is to care more or less I knew it’d be tough But I thought we’d be tougher than this Yeah I knew it’d be tough But I thought we’d be tougher than this Exin' off the days I'm still gone Exin' off the days till you're home
