lyrics

Come on back, home to my head
so I can see what time has done to your feline eyes that glaze over
in the night
come on back, home to my head so I can send you
a message in the morning when you are too drunk to discuss
come on back, home to my head so I can show you the dreams
that I’ve been having where you are the matchbook
and I am the maitre d'
I said come on back, home to my head
in a brand new dress and a Coppertone tan
so that I may be thankful for the mistakes I have made

And won’t you come down from that tree house you built in Baltimore?
where the leaves are so heavy you can barely see to the ground
I would write you a letter but my mind is crippled with metaphor
you may understand but you’ll never believe how it sounds

Come on back, home to my head so I can pack up the things that I’ve been saving in my bedroom since I’ve been alone
Come on back, home to my head so I can read that book that I’ve been dying to pick up but there’s not enough on my mind
Come on back, home to my head so I can dream up a brand new disease that will make you forget all the terrible things that I said.

And won’t you come down from that tree house you built in Baltimore?
where the leaves are so heavy you can barely see to the ground
I would write you a letter but my mind is crippled with metaphor
you may understand but you’ll never believe how it sounds
