Lyrics

When I Come Around

[Green Day cover]

[Verse 1]

I heard you crying loud

All the way across town

You've been searching for that someone

And it's me out on the prowl

As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself

Well, don't get lonely now

And dry your whining eyes

I'm just roamin' for the moment

Sleazin' my back yard, so don't get so uptight

You been thinking about ditching me

[Chorus]

No time to search the world around

‘Cause you know where I'll be found

When I come around

[Verse 2]

I heard it all before

So don't knock down my door

I'm a loser and a user

So I don't need no accuser

To try and slag me down

Because I know you're right

So go do what you like

Make sure you do it wise

You may find out that your self-doubt

Means nothing was ever there

You can't go forcing something

If it's just not right

[Chorus]

No time to search the world around

‘Cause you know where I'll be found

When I come around

[Outro]

No time to search the world around

‘Cause you know where I'll be found

When I come around

When I come around

When I come around

When I come around

With a new album on the way and a slot at a festival that’s, by this point, essentially home from home, THE XCERTS couldn’t be more welcome at 2000trees. So long as they stop leaking the line-up.
