Overview
"Since You Came Around" is a demo recorded by Rivers Cuomo. It is a reworking of an earlier demo, "Hawaii." The chorus melody would be repurposed for the bridge melody of the White Album track "Jacked Up". The song was among hundreds of demos leaked online on the demo storefront on riverscuomo.com on November 7, 2020. It was initially mistakenly released as part of the demo compilation Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years before being added to Alone XII: The White Year shortly thereafter.

Lyrics
I see the colors bleeding into black and white
I feel the fresh breeze bring the flowers back to life
It looks like everything has changed
Since you came around
It looks like everything has changed
Since you came around
I don't need 'em, I don't need 'em, I don't need 'em,
I don't need 'em, I don't need 'em anymore
It looks like everything has changed
Since you came around
The doctors say goodbye
The nurses pull the plug
I walk out on my own
Supported by your love
It looks like everything has changed
Since you came around
It looks like everything has changed
Since you came around
I don't need 'em, I don't need 'em, I don't need 'em,
I don't need 'em, I don't need 'em anymore
It looks like everything has changed
Since you came around
La la la la la, la la
It looks like everything has changed
Since you came around
It looks like everything has changed
Since you came around
I don't need 'em, I don't need 'em, I don't need 'em,
I don't need 'em, I don't need 'em anymore
It looks like everything has changed
Since you came around
Since you came around
