Come Around

Ceramic tile 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 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
I've waited 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 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
I've waited a lifetime

If you could feel it, I'd give a kiss
If it would get through, I'd whisper this
Not while your 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 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
I've waited a lifetime

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

Now I'm going home
