[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

The songs talk about all phases of a relationship, but you must be aware that people are going to hear songs like “How Come You’re Not Here” and “The Truth About Love” and assume that you’re having marital problems again.

It’s funny. I wrote ‘Family Portrait’ when I was 21 and my parents div...
You know, we had that break-up, and that second verse is my favourite second verse that I’ve ever written: ‘I heard some rumours about another girl/ I heard she’s cute but she stores nuts like a squirrel/ That’s all cool/ I’ll wait right here till you get bored/ And she gets carded for beer…’"
