Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Looking out the door, I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
Maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight, you're on my mind, so you never know, you never know
[Verse 2]
Every inch of me is full of pain, oh, you should've come over
My broken bones can smell the rain, and they're aching to recover, oh
And the rain, I wanna come down fast like kisses on my skin
But it passed me by and it left me dry
[Chorus]
Oh, lover, you should've come over
[Verse 3]
Broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, child? You know how much I need you
Too young to hold on, and too old to break free and run
Oh, to run, to run
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, lover, you should've come over
Will I wait? Will I burn?
Will I ever see your return?
Oh, lover, you should've come over
Ooh, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
Lonely is the room, the bed is made, open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who wants you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that won't ever come, it's never over
My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I've slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the memories and the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
Well, maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, lover, you should've come over
Will I wait? Will I burn?
Will I see your return?
Oh, lover, you should've come over, over, over
