[English]

Patiently waiting for me

To close the tab and hurry home

The streets are paved with broken dreams

And fantasies that we've outgrown

Sadie, I'll be coming home

Baby, save me from the road

Yeah, baby, I'm coming home

...

I buy the things that make you smile

And send them with a kiss

The road is winding home

And only you know what I've really missed

Sadie, I'll be coming home

Baby, save me from the road

Yeah

...
