I can see it in her letters on the paper with her pen
Her response is getting stranger
Think she's coming round again
So tell me, Mrs. Rita, what's it say in my tarot
Read my palm and tell me why do lovers come and go

Is she coming round for me once again
Around or was that the end
I just hope she's coming round again

I've been keeping myself busy with my books and with my tapes
And every day's much better since I've slowed my drinking pace
There's no swimming in the bottle
It's just someplace we all drown
I lost myself in sorrow, I've lost my confidence in doubt

Is she coming round for me once again
Around or was that the end
I just hope she's coming round again

Get in the car and drive through town
Down the block and back around
Pretending that she's there with me, we drive
Gone forever

Well, my patience keeps me plaintive, my high hopes keep me alone
My lover's will is shaken
I wish she would just come home
So tell me, Mrs. Rita, what's it say in my tarot
Read my palm and tell me why do lovers come and go

Is she coming round for me once again
Around or was that the end
I just hope she's coming round again

I just hope she's coming round...

Gin Blossoms is an American rock band formed in 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. They rose to prominence following the 1992 release of their first major label album, New Miserable Experience, and the first single released from that album, “Hey Jealousy”. “Hey Jealousy” became a Top 25 hit and went gold, and New Miserable Experience eventually went quadruple platinum; four other charting singles were released from the album. The band’s follow-up album, Congratulations I’m Sorry (1996), went platinum and the single “As Long as It Matters” was nominated for a Grammy Award. Gin Blossoms broke up in 1997. Since reuniting in 2001, the band has released Major Lodge Victory in 2006, No Chocolate Cake in 2010, and Mixed Reality in 2018.
