[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And I may be leaving myself open
To a murder or a heart attack
But I'm leaving the back door open
'Til you come back, 'til you come back
And I may be moving myself closer
To a real untimely end
But I'm leaving the back door open
'Til you come home again, you come home again

[Verse 2]
And I told the neighbors
I put pictures up
I handed out some flyers at the show
And the whole town speculating
Situations could've been avoided
If I'd only shut the window
[Chorus]
And I may be leaving myself open
To a murder or a heart attack
But I'm leaving the back door open
'Til you come back, 'til you come back
And I may be moving myself closer
To a real untimely end
But I'm leaving the back door open
'Til you come home again, you come home again
'Til you come home again

[Chorus]
And I may be leaving myself open
To a murder or a heart attack
But I'm leaving the back door open
'Til you come back, 'til you come back
And I may be moving myself closer
To a real untimely end
But I'm leaving the back door open
'Til you come home again, 'til you come home again
'Til you come home again
'Til you come home
