"Back In Town" lyrics

"Back In Town"

Swore I would take to my grave the fact I changed my flight
Out of Chicago just so I'd see you one more time
Met you at that beach you love on the north side
You told me your friend says I've got pretty eyes
But you don't tell your friends you fuck me all the time

Now you're somewhere in Idaho letting me down again
Yeah, I know I should know by now
I heard from a friend you're still sleeping around
But give me a call when you're back in town
I wanna give you my all when you're back in town

When you're back you're back
When you're back you're back
When you're back you're back
When you're back you're back
I hope you don't think I'm just waiting around
But give me a call when you're back in town

Well, I keep sending you books I know you'll never read
Guess it's all I can give that's not all of me
Wrote some shit in the margins I hoped you might see
But they just sit in your room where I'd kill to be
I've never been in your room and it's killing me

When you're back you're back
When you're back you're back
When you're back you're back
When you're back you're back
I hope you don't think I'm just waiting around
But give me a call when you're back in town

Wanna call you up just to see where you're at
Saw it in your eyes that night the train was packed
You know I'd be your girl if you would only ask
Don't tell me everything just tell me when you're back

Heard you're back in town, I can't handle this
If you want me now, you know where I live

When you're back you're back
When you're back you're back
When you're back you're back
When you're back you're back
I hope you don't think I'm just waiting around
But give me a call when you're back in town

Wanna call you up just to see where you're at
Saw it in your eyes that night the train was packed
You know I'd be your girl if you would only ask
Don't tell me everything just tell me when you're back
