(When She Comes) Back Home Lyrics

When she comes back home, she knows

That they'll hold her tight and never let go

'Til they forget she ever left in a week or so

And move on

And when she comes back home, she knows

That they'll hold it all together for her

But they won't be half in love as they were

It's put-on

And it's all that she can do

Not to tear herself in two

Down the middle, let them go their separate ways

Cause sometimes the 'bestest' of intentions

Can make a lifetime out of just one rainy day

But anyway, they need her more

So she comes back home again

And when she comes back home, she knows

That the walls will still seem thinner each night

While they stand out in the kitchen and fight

'Til the dawn

And when she comes back home, she knows

Oh, that if she flunks a test then they might

By the glow of their interrogation light

Pay her mind

And it's all that she can do

Not to tear herself in two

Down the middle, let them go their separate ways

Cause sometimes the 'bestest' of intentions

Can make a lifetime out of just one rainy day

But anyway, they need her more

So she comes back home again

It's not the best or worst it could be

But it's a long, long road to eighteen

And it's just a matter of time

'Til that feeling comes 'round again

But she'll always come back home

She'll always come back home

She'll always come back home again
