Script

The Script is a Irish pop rock band from Dublin, Ireland
Danny O'Donoghue and Mark Sheehan met when they were in their late teens in a club in James's Street area of inner-city Dublin, near the Guinness brewery, gravitating to each other through a shared obsession with music, and in particular a love of American black music
Striking up a songwriting and production partnership, O'Donoghue and Sheehan's talent was recognized early, and, to their astonishment, they found themselves invited to the States to collaborate with some of their production heroes, including such legends of modern R&B as Dallas Austin, Montell Jordan and Teddy Riley
They were based in the US for many years, but moved back to Dublin where they recruited Glen Power for their new band
Glen Power had been playing sessions from the age of fifteen, using the money to work on a solo project in his home. But that went on hold when his collaboration with Mark and Danny produced three songs in one week
In July 2009, The Script opened for Paul McCartney at the historic first concerts at New York's Citi Field and for U2 at Dublin's Croke Park

If You Ever Come Back

Album:

Science & Faith (2012)

Lyrics:

If you're standing with your suitcase
�But you can't step on the train
�Everything's the way that you left it
�I still haven't slept yet
�
And if you're covering your face now
�But you just can't hide the pain
�Still setting two plates on the counter but eating without you
�
If the truth is you're a liar
�Then just say that you're okay
�I'm sleeping on your side of the bed
�Goin' out of my head now
�
And if you're out there trying to move on
�But something pulls you back again
�I'm sitting here trying to persuade you like you're in the same room
�
And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
�And I wish you could still give me a hard time
�And I wish I could still wish it was over
�But even if wishing is a waste of time
�Even if I never cross your mind
�
I'll leave the door on the latch
�If you ever come back, if you ever come back
�There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
�If you ever come back
�There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
�And it will be just like you were never gone
�There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
�If you ever come back if you ever come back now
�Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back
�
Now they say I'm wasting my time
�'Cause you're never comin' home
�But they used to say the world was flat
�But how wrong was that now?
�
And by leavin' my door open
�I'm riskin' everything I own
�There's nothing I can lose in a break-in that you haven't taken
�
And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
�And I wish you can still give me a hard time
�And I wish I could still wish it was over
�But even if wishing is a waste of time
�Even if I never cross your mind
�
I'll leave the door on the latch
�If you ever come back, if you ever come back
�There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
�If you ever come back
�There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
�And it will be just like you were never gone
�There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
�If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
�Oh, if you ever come back, if you ever come back
�
If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
�I know you're out there somewhere so just remember this
�If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
�Oh just remember this, oh just remember this
�
I'll leave the door on the latch
�If you ever come back, if you ever come back
�There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
�If you ever come back
�There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
�And it will be just like you were never gone
�There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
�If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
�Oh, if you ever come back, if you ever come back
�
And it will be just like you were never gone
�And it will be just like you were never gone
�And it will be just like you were never gone
�If you ever come back, if you ever come back now

Lyrics:

Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her
As they take me to my local down the street
I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet

They say a few drinks will help me to forget her
But after one too many I know that I'm never
Only they can’t see where this is gonna end
They all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense

And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around

And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing

So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences
I know if I faced her face, that she'll come to her senses
Every drunk step I take leads me to her door
If she sees how much I'm hurting, she'll take me back for sure

And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around

And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing

She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
Oh, I got nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Ohh, sometimes love's intoxicating
Ohh, you're coming down, your hands are shaking
When you realize there's no one waiting

Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her

And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around

And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing

She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
I got nothing
I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Ohh I got nothing

I got nothing
