Come Back Home
Longing for Home: A Melodic Tale of Reunion
Lyrics
Days when we were young
Reflecting on the past when they were young
You would always hold my hand
Emphasizing the closeness and connection in the past
And all was good in my world
Expressing a sense of contentment in the past
The days when you were home
Nostalgia for the days when the person was at home
We could have fixed the wrongs
Belief that problems could have been resolved in the past
Don’t know why it's been so long
Expressing confusion about the prolonged separation
I didn’t know that was the last goodbye
Realization of an unexpected final farewell
When you were leaving home
Recalling the departure from home
Where the rivers meet
Imagining a symbolic place where emotions converge
I’ll be falling in, yeah yeah
Willingness to fall into emotions at that symbolic place
I don’t care about the years gone by
Disregarding the past years
I don’t care anymore about who’s wrong or who’s right
Letting go of concerns about right or wrong
If there’s one thing I could let you know
Expressing a desire to convey a single important message
I just want you to come back home
Yearning for the person to return home
The memories often fade
Recognition that memories may fade with time
As the sun sets count the days
Observing the passage of time as the sun sets
I never knew if one would ever come
Doubt about the possibility of a reunion
And if you’ll be coming home
Pondering if the person will return home
Where the rivers meet
Reiteration of the symbolic meeting place
I’ll be falling in, yeah yeah
Reaffirming the readiness to immerse in emotions
I don’t care about the years gone by
Indifference to the passing years
I don’t care anymore about who’s wrong or who’s right
Letting go of concerns about right or wrong (repeated)
If there’s one thing I could let you know
Repetition of the desire for the person to come back home
I just want you to come back home
(Blank line - potential pause or emphasis)
I just wanted you to know
Repeated emphasis on the longing for the person's return
I just wanted you to know
-I just wanted you to know
-I just wanted you to know
-Yeah!
Exclamation, possibly indicating intensity of emotion
I don’t care about the years gone by
Indifference to the passing years (repeated)
I don’t care anymore about who’s wrong or who’s right
Letting go of concerns about right or wrong (repeated)
If there’s one thing I could let you know
Repetition of the desire for the person to come back home
I just want you to come back home
(Blank line - potential pause or emphasis)
Sing it again
Encouragement to sing the desire again (repeated)
Sing it again, yeah
-I don’t care about the years gone by
Indifference to the passing years (repeated)
I don’t care anymore about who’s wrong or who’s right
Letting go of concerns about right or wrong (repeated)
If there’s one thing I could let you know
Repetition of the desire for the person to come back home
I just want you to come back home
(Blank line - potential pause or emphasis)
I just want you to come back home
Final and strong emphasis on wanting the person to come back home
