When You Come Around
Marion Raven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I've seen you around
My phone has been quiet
It has not made a sound
And what you took like I hardly remember?
Think the last time I saw
You was back in November
Some things never change
We're always back to normal
When I see your face it's a good thing that
Some things never change
We're always back to normal
When I see your face
I'll be here when you come around
When you come around i'll be here
When you comе around when you come around
When I'm in my car somе days I wanna drive
Down to your town just to
See if you're alive i always turn around
Before I make it that far
I don't know what you're doing
And I don't know where you are
I'll never stop
I'm thinking of you and waiting for you
I am never better than when I am with you
It's a good thing that
Some things never change
We're always back to normal
When I see your face
(Always back to normal, when I see your face
Always back to normal, when I see your face)
I'll be here when you come around
When you come around i'll be here
When you come around when you come around
I'll be here when you come around
When you come around i'll be here
When you come around when you come around
(I'll be here) It's a good thing
That some things never change
(When you come around when you come around)
(I'll be here) We're always back to normal
When I see your face (When you come around
When you come around)
(I'll be here) It's a good thing
That some things never change
(When you come around when you come around)
(I'll be here) We're always back to normal
When I see your face (When you come around
When you come around)
I'll be here
