Comeback

Let the heart muscle go to atrophy

Its weak kick in my ribs drowned out by any distraction

Been quite an uncomplicated life in the meantime

Till you walked in and wrenched everything up

What can I do? Lost the protocol

It's like the first time all over again

I never said you could come back

Thought I left you buried under lock and key

Now you're living and breathing right in front of me

Worried a bit that you were dead forever

But better that than all this mess

I never said you could come back

But here you are, here you are

It is happening yet again though you're faraway

Counting down, 3 2 1, till the next time I see you

Countless anniversaries swimming by

Yet I never quite found out, after it all, if you feel something

I hold your name tight as a mantra

You put the sun back in my eyes

But I never said you could come back

Thought I left you locked away in history

Now you're leaping and speaking right in front of me

Worried a bit I'd never see you again

But you filled your lungs with beautiful breath

I never said you could come back

But what a relief, a relief
