Come back, just once

Verse 1
Hey babe,
Can you, um… tighten the sleeves of my shirt,
You know, with the cufflinks…
The ones you got me,
Back on our wedding day?
Feels like forever ago.

You’re so funny,
I mean, I’m just standing here,
Staring at this old mirror,
The same one that’s been around for, like, three generations.
Crazy, right?

And you’re not here…
You’re really not here.
But… I swear, I can still catch your scent,
That musk you loved so much,
Mixing with the piney smell
Of this old tree I’m… well, standing on.

[Chorus]
Come back, just once,
Please, just one more time,
I’d hold you,
I’d bite the soft skin of your neck,
Just like before…
But you’re… you’re already gone,
You’re just… not here anymore.
Just once more,
My love… just once.

Verse 2
All those silly fights,
The endless glasses of red wine…
God, we’ve done this so many times,
Waking up, pretending today’s fresh,
Like last night never happened.
Yeah, right.

Just… put on me
That ridiculous corduroy jacket,
The one I picked up on Halloween ’77,
Man, I still can’t believe I bought it.
But hey, I’m wearing it now,
Just trying to, I don’t know…
Feel like I still exist,
Like maybe you’re still here,
Somewhere… somehow.
I guess your playful spirit’s
Still messing with me.

Chorus
Come back, just once,
Please, just one more time,
I’d hold you,
I’d bite the soft skin of your neck,
Just like before…
But you’re… you’re already gone,
You’re just… not here anymore.
Just once more,
My love… just once.
