Lyrics The Jayhawks

The Jayhawks

Comeback Kids

I drove out to hubert humphrey at five in the morning

With a carry-on bag and a southwest ticket in my hand

In my hand

You were waiting at the gate

In the same dress you wore the night I met you

We raced past the desk clerk

She looked up from her bookwork and she smiled

Rdu and here we are

Rdu and here we are

Cold and blow like a baseball diamond

Waiting for the summer

Staying inside, your toes'll stay dry

But never touch the sand

Go it alone, feet moving forward

Trying to find the answer

Then you appear, like fate put you here

And then I'm finally home

I fumbled for the door

And on the sunlit desk I bent and kissed you

Your neck swept up like a graceful sail caught in the wind

We're the comeback kids

Never forgetting what we did or where we came from

I held you so close

As we slow danced to fox in the snow

Rdu and here we are

Rdu and here we are

Cold and blown like a baseball

Diamond waiting for the summer

Staying inside, your boots'll stay dry

But never touch the sand

Go it alone, feet moving forward

Trying to find the answer

Then you appear, like fate put you here

And then I'm finally home
