From the recording Backbone
Lyrics
I don't think that we fell in love. I think love kinda fell on us. It just came down from up above, and landed on two kids like us, landed on two kids like us.
I spoke soft, because I loved you first, but the time was off, and you missed the words. I closed my lips, but I hoped you might just come back, kid, when the time is right. Come back kid, when the time is right.
Oh how long did I wait on the hook of love, at the mercy of fate. Oh now, until the end, I would wait for you, my friend. I would wait for you, my friend.
The years went passed, and my faith had left, right when you came back to my back doorstep. And I admit that you took too long, but a comeback kid, man he come back strong. Comeback kid, man he come back strong.
Oh how long did you wait on the hook of love, at the mercy of fate. Oh now, until the end, you would wait for me, my friend. You would wait for me, my friend.
And now I get what I never got 'cause I learned a bit while I yearned a lot. You keep your wits in a real good spot, and a comeback kid is a damn good shot. Comeback kid is a damn good shot.
Oh how long did I wait on the hook of love, at the mercy of fate. Oh now, until the end, I would wait for you, my friend. I would wait for you, my friend.
