Coming Back (Live at the Songroom) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've been gone much longer than you
Ever said you had the plan to
I'm just gonna wait 'til you come home

[Verse 2]
Though I count the days, they're grey without you
The weather's much better when I think about you
I'm just gonna wait 'til you come home

[Verse 3]
Empty glasses, burnt out matches
Curtains drawn on near-full blackness
I'm sleeping through the day you're coming home
To reclaim this heart you owned

[Refrain]
Lover, leave me
Make me burn
You're coming back!
You're coming back!
I'll wait patiently
For your return
You're coming back!
You're coming back!
[Hook]
I'm clutching at straws
I'm climbing up the walls
But every time I fall
Back into my hole
I'm feeling like a wretch
I'm looking for a catch
But you're an itch that I can't scratch
I know you're coming back

[Verse 4]
You've been gone so long you're fading
And it takes all the time I can find just retaining
Thoughts of things we did while you were here
But I know you will return my dear

[Refrain]
I'll wait patiently
For your return
You're coming back!
You're coming back!

[Outro]
You're coming back!
Oh, you're coming back!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
