[Verse 1]
"Hey, you're the comeback kid"
See me look away, I'm the runaway
I'm the stay-out-late, I'm recovering
Kid at the top of our street
I was somewhat like him, I was somebody

[Chorus 1]
Comeback kid
Comeback kid
Come back, kid
Let me look at you

[Verse 2]
"Yeah, you're the comeback kid
Let me look at you"
Then look away
Yeah, I'm the runaway, I'm the hardly stay
Let slip away

[Chorus 2]
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
Watch me run away
[Bridge]
"Kid came back a real turn around"
Please believe that I want to stay
"Got a job now that my brother found
Working nights just a mile away"
Don't let me slip away, I'm not a runaway
It just feels that way

[Chorus 1]
Comeback kid
Comeback kid
Come back, kid
Let me look at you
Comeback kid
Comeback kid
Come back
