When You Come Home Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What have you been getting into?
It's been quite a while since I've seen you, my friend
They had a discount for these blue shoes
They looked like the ones that would suit you
But I wasn't sure if your size has changed

Steam from my nose when I'm breathin'
I can't take my mind off that evenin'
But maybe I'll forget if I sleep
Talked to you when I was dreamin'
What are you doing this weekend?
You always make me laugh when you speak
And you always thought my laugh was funny

[Chorus]
So one day, if you find your way
I'll be waiting for you
Tell me 'bout all the things that you did
How was your trip?
I got all these questions to ask but I'll save them for when you come home

[Verse 2]
Barefoot in my place just to keep it clean
I hated when you didn't do the same
But the floor in my house misses your shoes

We were cooking and I couldn't taste the meat
You agreed and then you grabbed the salt for me
And I still wish that I said thank you

Whether it's hot or too cold to breathe
I know that you're findin' some place to sleep
You always love to prepare for the storm
I hope you make friends that you hate to leave
Even though it's not somethin' that you would need
I know that you could stand on your own
And trust me, I don't mean to rush you
[Chorus]
But one day if you find your way
I'll be waiting for you
Tell me 'bout all the things that you did
How was your trip?
I got all these questions to ask but I'll save them for when you come home

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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 [?]

What did Rich Brian say about "When You Come Home"?
Genius Answer

I actually started the idea of this song when I was playing on this keyboard, and in the middle of playing it my friend Vic told me it belonged to Mac Miller and I was like, “Woah, something crazy is gonna come out of this.” I came home and spent a whole week writing it and didn’t record it until the very last week I had to turn this EP in. It just had to be perfect.
