Discover the story of the song > Lover You Should’ve Come Over – Jeff Buckley

The protagonist sings about missing his partner and feeling lonely. He acknowledges that sometimes he gets carried away and causes damage, but he still wants his partner to come back to him. He feels too young to know how to keep love from going wrong but also too old to run away. The chorus repeats that his lover should have come back to him and it's not too late for them to be together again.
