A-ooh, a-ooh

[Verse 1]
While you were away
I didn’t know just what to do
Counting the days
Praying that each phone call was you

And all of our friends, they were all checking in
Making sure that I was getting by
Talking of you 'til the rise of the moon
How we’re missing your face and your smile

[Chorus]
While you were away, we were waiting
Patiently impatient
Holding on to hope you knew
While you were away, we were keeping constant conversation
Counting down the days 'til you
Were coming home
Coming home

[Verse 2]
Whilе you were away
Sometimеs I gave into the hurt
Casting the blame
Why you would leave without one word
But everyone, we were sending our love
Hoping somehow we were getting through

[Chorus]
While you were away, we were waiting
Patiently impatient
Holding on to hope you knew
While you were away, we were keeping constant conversation
Counting down the days 'til you
Were coming home
Coming home

[Bridge]
And if you’re on the run wondering who’s on your side
Just know there’s a hundred who would follow you
Right through the firing line

Here at home
Here at home
Come on home
Oh woah, woah, woah

[Chorus]
While you were away, we were waiting
Patiently impatient
Holding on to hope you knew
While you were away, we were keeping constant conversation
Counting down the days 'til you
Were coming home
Coming home
Coming home
Coming home
Oh-woah
Woah [x4]
