Come Back

(album: Flamingo - 2019)

I walk along the side of the road
The party debris, the shimmering mess
Releases, I flicker there in the pieces
We're tied to each other
Lantana licks the chain link
Outside her house, the lights are on

I'm waiting for dreams to fade
I'll never get used to it
Aware of the cold that we made
You trying to escape it

Come to me like a song
Come to me like you mean it
Like you were here all along
Come to me now, I need you
I need you

(Heart, heart, it will ache)
Heart, it will ache
(I'm undone, come back)
Come back, come back, I need you

Postcard destination
For honeymooners and jumpers, deliver me
The prodigal, let tomorrow be possible
Lonely prayers like pills
Dissolve under the tongue
And shrug into your resolve

These things that we do to get by
We invent, and we pretend
Will you ever change your mind?
I'm not ready for the end

Come to me like a song
Come to me like you mean it
Like you were here all along
Come to me now, I need you
I need you

(What, what's left to take?)
What's left to take?
(Come unpack, come back)
Come back, come back, I need you

Come to me like a song
Come to me like you mean it
Like the devil is gone
Come to me I still need you
I still need you

(I, I can't exist)
I can't exist
(Two places, come back)
Come back, come back, I need you
(Whatever you did)
Whatever you did
(Lie to me, come back)
Come back, come back, I need you
