Come Back To Bed

John Mayer · Heavier Things [2003]

Still is the life

Of your room when you're not inside

And all of your things

Tell the sweetest story line

Your tears on these sheets

And your footsteps are down the hall

So tell me what I did

I can't find where the moment went wrong at all

PRE-CHORUS

You can be mad in the morning

I'll take back what I said

Just don't leave me alone here

CHORUS

It's cold, baby

Come back to bed

Come back to bed

Come back to bed

Come back to bed

(Come on back to me)

What will this fix?

You know you're not a quick forgive

And I won't sleep through this

I survive on the breath you are finished with

PRE-CHORUS

You can be mad in the morning

I'll take back what I said

Just don't leave me alone here

CHORUS

It's cold, baby

Come back to bed

Come back to bed

Come back to bed

Come back to bed

(Come on back to me)

PRE-CHORUS

You can be mad in the morning

Or the afternoon instead

But don't leave me

CHORUS

98 and 6 degrees of separation from you, baby

Come back to bed

Come back to bed

Come back to bed

Why don't you come back to bed?

Don't hold your love over my head

Don't hold your love over my head

Don't hold your love over my head

Don't hold your love over my head

Don't hold your love over my head

Don't hold your love ...
