Comes Back Lyrics

I took a wrong turn of events
I made a wrong fork at the situation
I took a wrong turn of events
I made a wrong fork at the situation

I've been talking to you in your absence
And I fabricated quite a turn of events
I always knew it would come to this
I always knew it would come to this

Come back come back into his hands
His every wish is your command
Come back come back into Satan's arms
I won't shield you from evil
And I love all your songs!

I've been talking to you in my absence
And your narrow path has made sense of it all
I always knew it would come to this
I always knew it would come to this

I make up what I believe
I don't believe what you believe
Come back come back to Austin, Texas
Satan wants you and he loves all your songs!

You reach 200 miles of your own music noise
So clear and so quiet
Like bells across water
Like light in the darkness

Come back come back into his hands
His every wish is your command
Come back come back into Satan's arms
I can't shield you from evil
But I love all your songs!

Oh Danny Boy, the old serpent's calling

I took a wrong turn of events
I made a wrong fork at the situation
I took a wrong turn of events
I made a wrong fork at the situation

I've been talking to you in your absence
And I fabricated quite a turn of events
I always knew it would come to this
I always knew it would come to this

Come back come back into his hands
His every wish is your command
Come back come back into Satan's arms
I won't shield you from evil
And I love all your songs!

I've been talking to you in my absence
And your narrow path has made sense of it all
I always knew it would come to this
I always knew it would come to this

I make up what I believe 
I don't believe what you believe
Come back come back to Austin, Texas
Satan wants you and he loves all your songs!

You reach 200 miles of your own music noise
So clear and so quiet
Like bells across water 
Like light in the darkness

Come back come back into his hands
His every wish is your command
Come back come back into Satan's arms
I can't shield you from evil
But I love all your songs!

Oh Danny Boy, the old serpent's calling

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
