(When She Comes) Back Home

Jake Simon

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
