[Verse 1]
I hope you remember the good things
The good times
Thinking alone, thinking of you
I still sing “Caroline No”
I hope that I’m a good person
I want it to be different
You still come up in between conversations
But when I come home
I’ll pretend anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause everybody needs you
And everyone loves you
Mother, daughter, sister, lover
So many things I would tell you
So many things I would tell you

[Chorus]
(When I come home)
We talk so much we never mean anything
(When I come home)
I’d like to tell you how I feel, but I can’t feel
(When I come home)
We fight so much we never stay still
(When I come home)
I’d like to get underneath, but we don’t peel

[Verse 2]
She’s back with a heavy low
I guess that I could go
I want the drums to stop
Your friends know you well, so
It’s the way life goes
And I’m not there now
Sitting on my own
I should leave her alone
She told me many times
I don’t listen, I haven’t got the time
I could know better, but I like it slow at times
She feels, I don’t even know
It takes eleven notes
To love you in the way I would
But there’s no space to flow

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause everybody needs you
And everyone loves you
Mother, daughter, sister, lover
So many things I would tell you
So many things I would tell you

[Chorus]
(When I come home)
We talk so much we never mean anything
(When I come home)
I’d like to tell you how I feel, but I can’t feel
(When I come home)
We fight so much we never stay still
(When I come home)
I’d like to get underneath, but we don’t peel

(When I come home)
We talk so much we never mean anything
(When I come home)
I’d like to tell you how I feel, but I can’t feel
(When I come home)
We fight so much we never stay still
(When I come home)
I’d like to get underneath, but we don’t peel
