Roots pop singer/songwriter Josh Rouseis a melodic folk/ soft rocksinger. He was born in 1972 in Nebraska, living in California, Tennessee, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, Georgia, and Arizona during the years to follow; obsessed as a teen with British cult favorites like The Smithsand The Cure, he learned to play guitar from his uncle and wrote his first song at 18. Signing to the Rykodisc subsidiary Slow River, in 1998, Rouse issued his debut album, Dressed Up Like Nebraska, to widespread critical acclaim; upon settling in Nashville, he was befriended by Kurt Wagner, frontman of the endlessly brilliant chamber countrygroup Lambchop, and in the fall of 1999, the two singers/songwritersissued a collaborative EP, Chester. Rouse's second solo LP, Home, appeared the following spring and was followed by Under the Cold Blue Starsin 2002. For his next record Rouse hooked up with producer Brad Jonesand the resulting album in 2003, 1972, was both a homage to the soft rock sounds of Rouse's youth and an opening up and deepening of his sound.

Come Back Lyrics

Josh Rouse

I've been waiting for the longest time
I want you to come back
Maybe if the sun would shine
It'd bring my happy back
In the dark
So tired of waking up and its dark
So tired of being stuck on my own here
Norway is cold dear
And here comes june
The sun is gonna shine in june
The doctor says I'll feel better soon
Fills my vitamin D pills
He hands me the big bill
Cause I've been waiting for the longest time
I want you to come back
Maybe if the sun would shine
You'd bring my happy back
I'm gonna stay on this mountain high
Til you come running back
Don't leave me hangin' out on that line
I want you to come back
I want you to come back
I miss my serotonin
And my days are goin nowhere fast
The language is so foreign
And I can never understand
Understand
Come back (x 11)
Yeah cause I've been waiting for the longest time
I want you to come back
Maybe if the sun would shine
You'd bring my happy back
I'm gonna stay on this mountain high
Til you come running back
Don't leave me hanging out on that line
I want you to come back
I want you to come back
I want you to come back
I want you to come back
Yeah
Waiting for the longest time
Waiting for the longest time
I want you to come back
