Don’t Come Over
Written by Marielle Kraft
V1
No it’s not typical of me to say no
To be this type of cynical, I try to let go
But for the first time I’m not picking up my phone
I see your name
Flip your face to hide the glow
I haven’t felt like me in a minute
Trying to convince you that I’m still in it
You offer to drive down 95 to keep this thing alive
C1
But don’t come over
I think I’d rather be alone
Still hungover
From all this fighting through the phone
Keep holding on to your rope
Tying knots that I call hope
But if you come over
We’ll be over
So don’t come over
Don’t come over

Maybe if I keep talking you won’t show up
Wander halls of favorite memories so the other door stays shut
In the past I’ve shown up unannounced
To hold you when you’re freaking out
And I can tell you’re thinking that right now
C2
But don’t come over
I think I’d rather be alone
Still hungover
From all this fighting through the phone
Keep holding on to your rope
Tying knots that I call hope
But if you come over
We’ll be over
So don’t come over
Don’t come over
Bridge
But shouldn’t I want you to come over
Shouldn’t I miss you when you’re gone
You were supposed to be the one
You were supposed to be the one
Maybe if you write out your thoughts alone
And I ask you for space
We wouldn’t have to bend until we break
We’d find another way
But tonight my fears came bursting from closet
And if you show up I’m afraid that I’ll be honest
So don’t come over
C3
Don’t come over
I think I’d rather be alone
Still hungover
From all this fighting through the phone
Keep holding on to your rope
But I’m losing grip of hope
And if you come over
We’ll be over
And if you come over
We’ll be over
So don’t come over
Don’t come over
