Come Around

Ceramic tile floor fluorescent

Yellow iodine

I can feel your presence

Sedated by the heavy medicine

And come around, come around, come around

The flowers aren't worth keeping

The roses broke my skin

I'll pretend your sleeping

Or you fainted from the lack of oxygen

And come around, come around

Don't you leave me here to let you down

Now I'm going home and I've been patient, I've waited a lifetime

Now I'm going home and I am tired of waiting a lifetime

Sentimental letters

Brightly colored ink

Saying, "Please get better"

I'll place them by the lilies in the sink

And come around, come around

Don't you leave me here to let you down

Now I'm going home and I've been patient, I've waited a lifetime

Now I'm going home and I am tired of waiting a lifetime

If you could feel it, I'd give a kiss

If it would wake you

I'd whisper this

Not while you're sleeping

In my safe keeping

Faded iridescence

From your silhouette

A stare illuminescent

I haven't given up on you just yet

And come around, come around

Don't you leave me here to let you down

Now I'm going home and I have been patient, I've waited a

Lifetime

Now I'm going home and I am tired of waiting a lifetime

Now I'm going home and I have been patient, I've waited a lifetime

Now I'm going home and I am tired of waiting a lifetime

Now I'm going home
