When she called my sneakers tennis shoes

I knew she was from the west coast

Or the best coast

Like she'd say and I had to disagree



I fell in love with a ship

A vessel with at least 20 holes

Yeah but she still floats

I fell in love with the sea

A brilliant tidal wave

She devastated me



Come back home

And bring those green eyes

Oh when are you coming home?



I fell in love with a queen, a king

She burnt my village down

I paid her with love and taxes

I fell in love with a street sign that told me where to go

Oh why do I go anywhere?



Come back home

And bring those green eyes

When are you coming home?

Get back here

Cause baby these blue eyes

Are never as bright without you



And when you called me from San Francisco

I knew you had started a new life

Yeah without me

You're only you



Come back home

And bring those green eyes

Oh when are you coming home?

Get back here

Cause baby these blue eyes

Are never as bright without you

When are you coming home?

When are you coming home?

When are you coming home?

When are you coming home?
