[Verse] Sunrise finds us in bed awake Debt's a monster we couldn't shake Fridge is empty our hearts are full Struggling hard to keep our cool [Verse 2] You take jobs that pull you away Leaving me to face another day Kids ask when you'll come around Their laughter's gone without a sound [Chorus] Empty pockets but the love still stays Waiting for those brighter days Miles apart but holding on Through darkest nights before the dawn [Bridge] Letters worn from all the tears Counting down the distant years Hold your photo close to me Dreaming of what life could be [Verse 3] You've got calloused hands from the work you do Missing moments with kids and you Fixing roofs or factory floors Just to keep us above the floor [Chorus] Empty pockets but the love still stays Waiting for those brighter days Miles apart but holding on Through darkest nights before the dawn Empty pockets but the love still stays Waiting for those brighter days Miles apart but holding on Through darkest nights before the dawn
