Come on In
Invitation to Healing: Deacon Blue's 'Come on In' Explored
Lyrics
Walk that street every morning
Walking the same street every morning.
Driving past in the afternoon
Driving past later in the day.
Standing outside looking in
Standing outside, observing from a distance.
Maybe too soon
Contemplating whether it's too early for something.
Looking for a low close light
Searching for a dim, welcoming light.
For some real homecoming
Longing for a true homecoming.
Maybe we could be all right
Expressing a desire for things to be okay.
If we could just begin again
Hoping for a fresh start.
Oh, I know about tears
Acknowledging personal experiences of tears.
Cause I’ve cried some, they keep trying to come back again
Past tears attempting to resurface.
Oh, all the things I loved here
Recalling things once cherished.
Well I left them and I couldn’t keep track of them
Leaving behind loved things, struggling to remember them.
Oh, is it asking too much
Wondering if a simple request is too much.
To hear the one thing I was hoping you might say
Hoping to hear a specific comforting phrase.
Come on in
Inviting someone to come inside.
Come to life around midnight
Desiring to come alive late at night.
Stepping out in the wee wee hours
Stepping out in the early morning hours.
Every dawn every sunrise
Expressing a desire to share experiences at dawn.
How I want to make it ours
Wishing to make moments special and personal.
Looking for a call or any sign
Seeking a call or any sign of acceptance.
I got it wrong so many times
Admitting past mistakes multiple times.
Won’t you please take me back again
Pleading for another chance with gentleness.
I’ll be gentle so please be kind
Requesting kindness in return.
Oh, I know about tears
Recognizing the persistence of tears.
Cause I’ve cried some they keep trying to come back again
Previous tears attempting to return.
Oh, all the things I loved here
Remembering the cherished things.
Well I left them and I couldn’t keep track of them
Struggling to keep track of abandoned loves.
Oh, I keep thinking of you
Constantly thinking about someone.
When I tried to keep these thoughts from coming through
Difficulty suppressing thoughts about a person.
Oh, is it asking too much
Questioning the difficulty of a simple request.
To hear the one thing I was hoping you might say
Hoping to hear the desired comforting phrase.
Come on in
Repeating the invitation to come inside.
Oh, I know about tears
Acknowledging personal experiences of tears once more.
Cause I’ve cried some they keep trying to come back again
Recurring tears trying to resurface again.
Oh, all the things I loved here
Recalling the things once loved once again.
Well I left them and I couldn’t keep track of them
Struggling to remember and hold onto past loves.
Oh, I keep thinking of you
Continually thinking about someone.
When I tried to keep these thoughts from coming through
Facing difficulty in blocking thoughts about a person.
Oh, is it asking too much
Questioning the difficulty of a simple request again.
To hear the one thing I was hoping you might say
Hoping to hear the desired comforting phrase once more.
Come on in
Repeating the invitation to come inside again.
Come on in
Repeating the invitation to come inside.
Come on in
-Come on in
