[Verse 1]
Found your blue hair ribbon
By the payphone after school
I kept it in my jacket
Like a secret little fool
You laughed beside the lockers
With your textbooks in your arms
I knew before you told me
You could set off every alarm
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the last bus is rolling
And your porch light fades from view
I’ve got one thing on my mind tonight
I’m missing you
[Chorus]
Come back, come back, I’m calling your name
Two young hearts and a runaway flame
Come back, come back, don’t leave me blue
Every road I take leads me back to you
I miss your touch, I miss your smile
I’d cross this whole town, mile after mile
Come back, come back, let the whole world know
You’re the only place my heart wants to go
[Verse 2]
We wrote our names in pencil
On the sleeve of my old coat
You said forever softly
Like a promise in your throat
The winter pressed against us
But your hand was warm in mine
Even every mile between us
Couldn’t make your memory fade with time
[Pre-Chorus]
Now your photograph is waiting
By the lamp beside my bed
I hear your voice in every word
That I never said
[Chorus]
Come back, come back, I’m calling your name
Two young hearts and a runaway flame
Come back, come back, don’t leave me blue
Every road I take leads me back to you
I miss your touch, I miss your smile
I’d cross this whole town, mile after mile
Come back, come back, let the whole world know
You’re the only place my heart wants to go
[Bridge]
If the night keeps getting longer
I’ll keep waiting by the phone
If the world pulls us apart now
I’ll still find my way back home
Young enough to dream forever
Old enough to know it’s true
When the morning breaks, remember
I’m still reaching out for you
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
Come back, come back, I’m calling your name
Two young hearts and a runaway flame
Come back, come back, don’t leave me blue
Every road I take leads me back to you
I miss your touch, I miss your smile
I’d cross this whole town, mile after mile
Come back, come back, let the whole world know
You’re the only place my heart wants to go
[Outro]
Come back, come back
I’m still waiting here for you
Come back, come back
Every road leads back to you
