Until You Come Around

Woke up tired and thought of sleeping
Saw her face in a different light
Dawn's deceit was a promise creeping
To coffee cream and a new delight

The angry jangle of our last summer
Speaks to me when I hear your name
The poison medicine of your memory
Let nobody but me defame

Come back
Come back
Come back to me
And a new disaster
Come back
Come back
All alone so far away

And I'll be waiting patiently
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting patiently
Until you come around

The Nostradamus of Paramus
Drinks his lunch from a paper box
Knows her name but he calls her "kitten"
He'll never know what a smile unlocks

The battle lines and the constant craving
For so much more than we knew before

But there's no joy in a blue light bathing
A gilded room full of empty lore

Come back
Come back
Come back to me
And a new disaster

Come back
Come back
When there's nothing left to say

And I'll be waiting patiently
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting patiently
Until you come around

Taking stock of the damage done
We'll hold a candle to the sun
Weather a winter's waning
To forget what we've become

Close your eyes and you'll see the light
Hail a hallelujah then take flight

Come back
Come back
Come back to me
And a new disaster

Come back
Come back
When there's nothing left to say

And I'll be waiting patiently
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting patiently
Until you come around
