Keterlaluan kalau sampai saat ini kamu belum juga punya album kedua The Script yang berjudul "Science & Faith". Masih kurang juga alasan untuk punya albumnya, setelah single 'For The First Time' dan 'Nothing'? Single ketiganya 'If You Ever Come Back' akan menambah alasan untuk kamu tidak melewatkan album ini begitu saja. Karena feel good music yang terkandung di dalamnya semakin kuat mencirikan musik a la The Script dengan style alternative rock dan lirik yang terkadang di-rap-kan. Ini yang jadi nilai jual dan daya tarik band Irlandia tersebut. Dan sekali lagi, Danny O'Donoghue, Mark Sheehan, dan Glen Power siap nangkring di berbagai chart musik dengan ini.
Komposisi musik mid-tempo dalam arahan produksi Danny dan Mark, dibantu Steve Kipner dan Andrew Frampton (yang keduanya hadir sejak band ini merilis album pertama) merupakan penekanan harmoni like-able. Apalagi influence hip-hop di dalamnya "kawin" dengan musik alternative yang mereka punya. Dalam lirik yang puitis, mereka menghadirkan sesuatu yang terfokus pada ketidakberhasilan suatu hubungan. Dan salutnya, hubungan itu enggak cuma bisa apply ke suami-istri atau sepasang kekasih, karena bisa juga dipasangkan ke hubungan orang tua dan anak (meskipun tidak secara keseluruhan, khusunya di bagian lirik tentang tempat tidur). Dan menilik kepada hip-hop yang terlampir, selain rap di beberapa bagian liriknya, pastikan juga kamu mendengar Danny berdendang menggunakan kata "tryna".
Kalau menyaksikan video klipnya, banyak keputusasaan yang dipertontonkan dari para model video klipnya. The Script bernyanyi di dalam ruangan dengan kursi disusun melingkar, seperti forum sharing alkoholik atau shopaholik yang masih kosong dan kemudian terisi di bagian akhir video. Another good short film in their music video. Simply love it. Puas deh dengan apa yang bisa dihadirkan The Script hingga saat ini. Buktikan sendiri asyiknya lagu ini lewat request di stasiun radio di kota kamu! Abis itu segera beli albumnya supaya enggak nyesal ketinggalan musik enak a la The Script!

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 tryna move on
But something pulls you back again
I'm sitting here tryna 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 milkin' 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
