Story Behind The Song
"Come Back" was written around the moment when the loneliness following a breakup turns into clarity. The narrator recognizes his own part in losing the relationship and realizes that what he wants most is not simply to revisit the past, but to bring it back to life and make it work this time. As the song progresses, quiet regret becomes an increasingly urgent plea, capturing the vulnerability of admitting that someone is still needed and the hope that love might deserve another chance.

Lyrics
There's a place
Where I'm lonely
Feelings on the shelf
For the love that we lost
Only blame myself
All this time keeps on tearin' me apart
And there's just one way to fix this lonely heart
Come back
Give me all your love again
Come on
Let your body hold me then you'll see
We can bring the past alive my friend
Maybe we can make it this time
Come back, come back
Come back, come back
Come back, come back
There's a place for you only
It's waiting for the day
For a sign in the night
That you might really stay
But my fears keep on tearin' me apart
And there's just one way to fix this lonely heart
And there's just one way
Come back
Give me all your love again
Come on
Let your body hold me then you'll see
We can bring the past alive my friend
Maybe we can make it this time
Come back, come back
Come back, come back
Come back, come back
Come back, come back
I can't wait much longer
Gotta feel you closer now
Your touch makes me stronger
Need you in my life somehow
Please come back
Come back, come back
Come back, come back
Come back, come back
Come on
Come back, come back
Come back, come back
Come back
Maybe we can make it this time
