Come Out

Lyrics of Come Out by Lucy Dacus

I missed your call because I was in a boardroom
Full of old men guessing what the kids are getting into
There was a cardboard cut-out of a cowboy in the corner
Pointing his gun in my face

I don′t belong here, nobody does
Except maybe those old men collecting dust
Why am I not wherever you are?
There is no distance that wouldn’t be too far

Even on opposite sides of the room
I am orbiting you

So come out, come out wherever you are
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you in my arms

I wanna be that man on Main Street with a megaphone
Screaming obscenities to the toddlers and scandalized moms
I wanna scream from the bottom of my lungs
I wanna scream my throat raw

And if that means I never sing again
At least I′ll know I went out with a bang
Screaming my favorite things about you
Screaming your name, your name, your name

So come out, come out wherever you are
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you in my arms
Come out, come out, there’s no need to hide
I want you, I want you, I want you by my side

Waking up in a new city everyday
Makes me believe more and more that they’re all the same
It′s just a pharmacy, coffee shop, bookstore, and bank
And a tourist attraction that most locals hate

I′ll hike up a hill where they say there’s a view
′Cause the sky around five might remind me of you
There’s a couple divorcées on a bad first date
And an elderly couple with nothing to say

I used to think that′d be the worst
To grow old and run out of words
Now I have seen some incredible things
I could never describe if I tried

So come out, come out wherever you are
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you in my arms
Come out, come out, there’s no need to hide
I want you, I want you, I want you by my side

Come on, come on, I′m ready for you
I can wait, I can wait, but I don’t want to
