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.

This song takes me back to a more innocence age of my life. Exception of The Beatles, probably the greatest love song ever written; the imagery and metaphors within is second to none, let alone the vocals.
