SONG LYRICS

I don’t know where I
Am going to rest my head tonight
So I won’t promise that I’ll speak
To you today
But if I ever find
Another place, a better time
For that moment
I was never what I am

Take me to where you are
What you’ve become
And what you will do
When I am gone
I won’t forget
I won’t forget

Maybe someday
You’ll be somewhere
Talking to me
As if you knew me
Saying, I’ll be home for next year, darling
I’ll be home for next year

In between the lines
Is the only place you’ll find
What you’re missing
That you didn’t know was there
So when I say goodbye
You must do your best to try
And forgive me this weakness
This weakness

‘Cause I don’t know what to say
Another day
Another excuse to be sent your way
Another day
Another year

Maybe someday
You’ll be somewhere
Talking to me
As if you knew me
Saying, I’ll be home for next year, darling
I’ll be home for next year
And maybe sometime
In a long time
You’ll remember
What I had said there
I said, I’ll be home for next year, darling
I’ll be home for next year

If you think of me
I will think of you

Maybe someday
You’ll be somewhere
Talking to me
As if you knew me
Saying, I’ll be home for next year, darling
I’ll be home for next year
Maybe sometime
In a long time
You’ll remember
What I had said there
I said, I’ll be home for next year
Maybe someday
You’ll be somewhere
Talking to me
As if you knew me
Saying, I’ll be home for next year, darling
I’ll be home for next year
