[Intro – clean chorus-drenched arpeggios, melodic bass enters early, soft analog drums build slowly] [Verse 1 – dreamy clean guitars, steady rhythm, breathy vocal delivery] Rain clouds in the sky Whispers in the breeze Echoes of a time gone by Russ-ling the leaves Rivers running silent Currents lost in time Stars above are watching But they’ve lost the will to shine [Pre-Chorus – light guitar shimmer, distant reverb vocal] And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know... You're never coming home [Break] [Chorus – layered jangly guitars, melodic bass groove, emotional vocal tone] Please, come back home I call out every night Please, come back home I left on the porch light Just for you, so you can see The path back home to me And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know... You're never coming home You're never coming home... [Verse 2 – added guitar counter-melody, warm rhythmic bass] Gardens full of memories Flowers start to wilt All alone where no one sees Upon what we once built They never saw the beauty Afraid to taste the pain I wonder why each time I cry It always starts to rain [Pre-Chorus – soft vocal rise, ambient guitar echoes] And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know... You're never coming home [Break] [Chorus – repeat, slight dynamic lift, echo tail on last line] Please, come back home I call out every night Please, come back home I left on the porch light Just for you, so you can see The path back home to me And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know... You're never coming home You're never coming home... [Bridge – sparse instrumentation, melodic bass walks, vocal delivery soft and longing] You know I'll wait forever Sitting all alone Searching for your shadow Till it comes back home [Pre-Chorus – minimal guitar and drums, lingering vocal echo] And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know... You're never coming home [Break] [Chorus – final chorus, emotionally swelling, slight reverb decay] Please, come back home I call out every night Please, come back home I left on the porch light Just for you, so you can see The path back home to me And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know... You're never coming home (I know, I know) You're never coming home (I know, I know) You're never coming home (I know, I know) You're never coming home...
