And the hole in the screen is barely big enough for you   And not near enough for me to go   And the whole damn complicated   Situation could've been avoided if I'd only shut the window      And I may be leavin' myself open   To a murder or a heart attack   But I'm leavin' the back door open   'Til you come back, 'til you come back      And I may be movin' myself closer   To a real untimely end   But I'm leavin' the back door open   'Til you come home again, you come home again      And I told the neighbors, I put pictures up   And handed out some flyers at the show   And the whole town speculating   Situations could've been avoided if I'd only shut the window      And I may be leavin' myself open   To a murder or a heart attack   But I'm leavin' the back door open   'Til you come back, 'til you come back      And I may be movin' myself closer   To a real untimely end   But I'm leavin' the back door open   'Til you come home again, you come home again   'Til you come home again      And I may be leavin' myself open   To a murder or a heart attack   But I'm leavin' the back door open   'Til you come back, 'til you come back      And I may be movin' myself closer   To a real untimely end   But I'm leavin' the back door open   'Til you come home again, you come home again   'Til you come home again, 'til you come home
