As the day begins to slow And I wait for you to come home From another week away That's the working life, you always say But it's hard to be a child when The neighbourhood keeps changing its face It's hard to start again You know it's hard to find your place It's the seventh school I'm in And I'm learning to pretend To care a little less But I know, I know I still need to impress I'm the youngest in my class again Some things are always true I'm trapped inside the world again I need you to come through I'm trapped inside the world again I need you to come through When the night begins to slow When the shadows take their toll There's a part of me that still waits For you to come home again But I remember that you left us here Daddy, you know I do But I'm trapped inside the world again I need you to come through I'm trapped inside the world again I need you to come through
