When You Get Back Songtext
von The Americans

The world belongs around you
That′s something to belong to
You've got something missing in me
You left the life of virtue
To them that might deserve you
And drifted out to sea

You left your home in haste
How I longed to keep you safe
And lately I don′t mind the mixed company
Lately I don't mind, cause you promised me

You'd call me when you get back
You′d call me when you get back
You′d call me when you get back
And we'll leave it at that


Time′s allied most seldom
With those in need of helping
So much love I never will set free
Letter after letter
I felt you knew me better
So I listened when you said to let it be

Twist your hair, and I'll call it mine
Wear me thin as a lucky dime
But lately I don′t mind when I hear about
Lately I don't mind who you bring around

I know you′ll call me when you get back
You'll call me when you get back
You'll call me when you get back
And we′ll leave it at that

The world rolls on around you
So lucky to have found you
