Come Over – English Lyrics

• By: Sam Hunt

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I turn the TV off, to turn it on again

Staring at the blades of the fan as it spins around

Counting every crack, the clock is wide awake

Talking to myself, anything to make a sound

I told you I wouldn't call, I told you I wouldn't care

But baby climbing the walls gets me nowhere

I don't think that I can take this bed getting any colder

Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over

You can say we're done the way you always do

It's easier to lie to me than to yourself

Forget about your friends, you know they're gonna say

We're bad for each other, but we ain't good for anyone else

I told you I wouldn't call, I told you I wouldn't care

But baby climbing the walls gets me nowhere

I don't think that I can take this bed getting any colder

Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over

We don't have to miss each other, come over

We don't have to fix each other, come over

We don't have to say forever, come over

You don't have to stay forever, come over

I told you I wouldn't call, I told you I wouldn't care

But baby climbing the walls gets me nowhere

I don't think that I can take this bed getting any colder

Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over

Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over.

I grab your keys, I'm in your car

But your headlights in my yard

Pull up the drive, put it in park

Walk inside, underneath my stars

I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting

Don't say a word, don't say a word

Come over
