Composition and reception

The lyrics of "Until She Comes" depict a metaphorical story about addiction.[1] The single spent two weeks at number one on the U.S. 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]
