If I keep holding out,... will the light shine through? Under this broken roof,... it's only rain that I feel I've been waiting out the days,... Come Back.
I have been planning out,... All that I'd say to you Since you slipped away,... Know that I still remain true I've been wishing out the days,..
Please say, that if you hadn't of gone now I wouldn't have lost you another way From wherever you are,.... Come Back.
And these days, they linger on And in the night, as I'm waiting on The real possibility I may meet you in my dream I go to sleep
If I don't fall apart,.... will the memories stay clear So you had to go,......... and I had to remain here
But the strangest thing to date So far away And yet you feel so close And I'm not gonna question it any other way
There must be an open door For you to Come Back
And the days, they linger on And every night, what I'm waiting for Is the real possibility I may meet you in my dream
And sometimes you're there And you're talking back to me Come the morning I could swear you're next to me
And it's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'll be here Come Back Come Back
I'll be here Come Back Come Back
I'll be here Come Back Come Back
That I no longer give a fuck Who is wrong and who’s right
I absolutely love that song. I'm always suprised it doesn't get played more and many people seem not to like it. Maybe it's the simplistic lyrics people don't like. Who knows. Love it though.
Over the last few years, as Mike has extended to solo, the song has reached new heights. Love this song.
Come Back makes me feel like I have lost someone that I haven't. I told my wife once that this song is how I would feel if something ever happened to her.... So incredible that Ed is able to paint a picture that vividly.
I love it so much. I can't hear the first few lyrics without crying. Wish it was played more.

A truly beautiful song. One of their most underrated as well. I agree with what someone said above that Mike's extended solo has really heightened the live experience of this song.
This song hit me hard the first time I heard it. It punched my heart and tears just streamed down my face. It's a beautiful song in every way but it can be tough to listen to. I haven't heard it played at a show yet and it would be moving and special live but I would almost be scared to hear it!!! With that said I do wish they would play it more.
Gut wrenching! I am fortunate enough to have heard it live a couple times. I love how this band has a song for any emotion I happen to be feeling or for just about anything I am experiencing whether happy or sad. Their catalog is definitely the soundtrack for my life!
Always loved this song but loved it even more after seeing at Wrigley. The raw emotion in Eddie's voice is spine chilling.
