[Verse 1]
Heard you pass south of Baltimore
Wondering if you watch the ships roll in
Will you stay up 'til the dawn's early light
Do you ever wonder how I've been?

[Chorus]
Postcard memories only paint a picture
Of how you are in one place at a time
I need you now more than ever before
I'm waitin' for you to come back home

[Verse 2]
It don't matter where you go when you're young
When you're tryin' to outrun the past
Like a ghost you travel through my dreams
I only see you through the looking glass

[Chorus]
Postcard memories only paint a picture
Of how you are in one place at a time
I need you now more than ever before
I'm waiting for you to come back home

[Bridge]
I swear I forget most of what I learn
As the earth moves from morning to night
One thing I know I'll always remember your eyes shining in the morning light
I thought I saw you out there dancin on the ocean
I thought I heard you singin' too rah loo rah la
[Chorus]
I wanna be wherever you are
I'm waitin' for you to come back home
I need you now more than ever before
I'm waitin' for you to come back home
