Lover, You Should’ve Come Over is track #7 on Jeff Buckley’s album Grace. It is believed to be a song about the ending of the relationship between Buckley and Rebecca Moore.
This is believed to be one of his most powerful and diverse efforts, with a jazzy, soulful and gospel-like tone to the song. In fact, during the song’s climax (“It’s Never Over,…”), you can hear gospel-like backing vocals, which in reality are actually Jeff multi-tracking his own voice.
The song was covered by the English jazz pianist songwriter Jamie Cullum on his 2003 Album Twentysomething, and has also been covered by American singer-songwriter John Mayer.

"...Broken down and hungry for your love, with no way to feed it... Wheeeeeeeeere are you tonight child you know how much I need it... Too young to hold on but, too old to just break free and run... Will I ever see your sweet return...Oh will I ever learn, oooh, lover you should've come over... It's never over, he's the tear that will hang inside my soul forever..." Unbelievable gift he had in his ability to musically and poetically describe such seemingly indescribable feelings.
