Story Behind The Song
I was trying to write as though I was in someone else's shoes who was going through a painful relationship.
Song Description
It's late at night in an empty, dark, house. A man filled with despair waits all alone, staring out a second story window at the street. He's been there for hours now and slowly the realization that she is not coming home creeps into his mind.

Lyrics
It's 4 in the morning, got nothing to do.
It's 4 in the morning, got nothing to do.
I just sit by my window, waiting for you.
I tried not to worry, but what can I do?
You said you'd be coming back home, by quarter to two.
What were the reasons you gave me, for running away, hey, hey hey
And how many times did I break down and beg you to stay?
Now my mind's prone to worry, that maybe we're through.
Now my mind's prone to worry, that maybe we're through.
Now this night is no more than a stranger, and my pain is nothing that's new.
I'll stay right here by this window, this window,
Waiting for you......waiting for you.
