Come Back
Pearl Jam爀 Lyrics

If I keep holding out
I wonder if the situation will get better if I just keep waiting patiently.

Will the light shine through?
Is there any hope for this situation to improve in the future?

Under this broken roof, it's only rain that I feel
I'm in a sad, depressed state and everything feels miserable to me, like I'm trapped under a leaky roof during a storm.

I've been wishin' out the days
I've been hoping for things to get better with each passing day.

Oh oh oh, Come back
I'm desperate for someone or something to return, to bring back the happiness I once had.

I have been planning out all that I'd say to you
I have been imagining what I would say to the person I miss, preparing myself for the possibility of their return.

Since you slipped away, know that I still remain true
Despite your absence, I still hold onto the feelings I had for you and remain loyal to our relationship.

Please say that if you hadn't have gone, now I wouldn't have lost you another way
I hope that if circumstances were different, you wouldn't have left me and we could still be together.

From wherever you are, oh oh oh oh, Come back
I don't know where you are or what you're doing, but I want you to come back to me.

And these days, they linger on, yeah, yeah
Time seems to be moving slowly, making each day feel longer and harder to get through.

And in the night, I've been waiting for, a real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
At night, I hope that I will dream of you and that maybe we can be together in my dreams.

If I don't fall apart, will my memory stay clear?
If I can hold myself together and not fall apart, will my memories of you remain vivid and not fade away?

So you had to go, and I had to remain here
You had to leave for your own reasons, and I had to stay here and deal with the aftermath of losing you.

But the strangest thing to date, so far away and yet you feel so close
It's strange that even though you are far away, I still feel connected to you in some way.

I'm not going to question it any other way, it must be an open door for you to come back
I don't want to analyze or question why I feel this way, I just want to believe that this feeling is a sign that you may come back to me someday.

Oooooooo, Oooooooo, Oooooooo, Oooooooo
The repetition of these sounds creates a feeling of longing and anticipation.

I'll be here, Come back, Come back
I'm not going anywhere, I will be waiting for you to come back to me.

It's ok, it's ok, I'll be here, Come back, Come back
I am reassuring myself that everything will be alright and that I will be here waiting for you to return.
