Composition and reception

The lyrics of "Until She Comes" depict a metaphorical story about drug addiction.[1] The single spent two weeks at No. 1 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart in September 1991.[2] Author Dave Thompson described the song as "bittersweet" and reminiscent of the band's 1981 single "Pretty in Pink".[3]
