Lyrics

How Come You're Not Here

[Intro]

Where have you been?

Where have you gone?

And have I done something wrong?

You're the Tooth Fairy

You're like Santa Claus

You're like white noise

When I want my favorite song

[Verse 1]

Just come on back

And come on home

It ain't super smart to leave me alone

Light a flare, pick up the phone

I'm like a stoner babe without my bong

[Chorus]

Are you hiding in the closet?

Are you underneath the bed?

Did you go for a long walk off a short pier?

How come you're not here?

Should I worry you've been bitten?

Or somebody got you high?

Quick come back

Or I might just die

How come you're not here?

[Verse 2]

I've heard some rumors

About another girl

I heard she's cute

But she stores nuts like a squirrel

And that's all cool

I'll wait right here

'Til you get bored

And she gets carded for beer

[Verse 3]

I'm the one

I'm just that slick

You won't find better

I'm honey dipped

There ain't a thing

That's fake on me

I miss you, baby

Come home to me

[Chorus]

Are you hiding in the closet?

Are you underneath the bed?

Did you go for a long walk off a short pier?

How come you're not here?

Should I worry you've been bitten?

Or somebody got you high?

Quick come back

Or I might just die

How come you're not here?

[Bridge]

Has anyone seen?

Has anyone seen?

Has anyone seen why he's hiding from me?

Can anyone see?

Can anyone see?

Can anyone see? Let's play hide and seek

[Chorus]

Are you hiding in the closet?

Are you underneath the bed?

Did you go for a long walk off a short pier?

How come you're not here?

Should I worry you've been bitten?

Or somebody got you high?

Quick come back

Or I might just die

Quick, come back

Or I might just die
