lyrics

Come Back First (Buddy Mondlock)

Two red tail lights are all that I see
When I remember the last time you drove away from me
You drove away and you didn’t come back
Two red tail lights fade to black

You been here and you been gone
Then here again and so on
Sorrow and relief - I don’t know which is worse
But if you want to leave again you gotta come back first

CHORUS
Come back first
Come back last
Hey, you could just stay and save all that gas
But I’m your love
Then I’m your curse
So if you want to leave again you gotta come back first

I keep looking at the kitchen door
And three Cheerios on the floor
The clock just stopped - no, there it goes
When did a second get so slow?

All in all it’s all a mess
And I’m just trying to do my best
You might feel sweet, you might feel hurt
But if you want to leave again you gotta come back first

CHORUS
Come back first
Come back last
Hey, you could just stay and save all that gas
But I’m your love
Then I’m your curse
So if you want to leave again you gotta come back first
If you want to leave again you gotta come back first

Two red tail lights are all that I see
When I remember the last time you drove away from me
You drove away and you didn’t come back
Two red tail lights fade to black
