3, 4
Oh feels fun
But anymore feels too long
A sadness comes into my eyes
As I watch families walk by
You give my life a rooted feeling (Ooh)
Every step I take has meaning (Ooh)
When I'm getting you to school
Or your swim lessons at the pool
Counting down
Counting down
How long it will be
'Til I'm home
'Til I'm home
Not sure this is what it's cracked out to be
I'm meeting new friends that I always have to leave
I'm considering a new career
But all I can do is play music by ear
So I'll keep going on (Ooh)
And I'll feel better after a song (Ooh)
And remember all the good signs
When not so heartsick and tired
Counting down
Counting down
How long it will be
Til I'm home
Til I'm home
Til I'm home
