Coming Home
Reckoning with Longing: Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman's 'Coming Home'
Lyrics
I've been gone for way too long
I've been away for an extended period
But I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Expressing the intention to return home
Like a million nights alone
Describing numerous nights spent in solitude
But I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Reiterating the commitment to come back home
I am sorry that I hurt you
Apologizing for causing pain or harm
And for the mess I left behind
Expressing regret for the problems left behind
I've been gone for way too long
Repeating the idea of a prolonged absence
But I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Reaffirming the determination to return
I'm comin' home
Emphasizing the decision to come back home
I'm comin' home
Repetition for emphasis on returning home
I'm comin' home
Continued emphasis on the act of returning home
I know there's been cold days
Acknowledging difficult or challenging times
I use the word "Goodbye" too much
Admitting the frequent use of the word "Goodbye"
Only in photos we're in the same place
Highlighting that physical presence is lacking, mainly seen in photos
But I know that ain't enough, no
Recognizing that mere pictures are insufficient
Tell me that you won't forget
Requesting assurance that memories won't be forgotten
Everything we have
Stressing the importance of preserving the shared experiences
I need you 'til I'm old
Expressing a desire for companionship until old age
I just wanna make it right
Declaring the intent to correct past mistakes
I apologize
Offering an apology for actions or choices
Beggin' you, don't let go
Pleading not to be let go or abandoned
I've been gone for way too long
Reiteration of a prolonged absence
But I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Renewing the commitment to return home
Like a million nights alone
Acknowledging the loneliness experienced during the separation
But I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Restating the determination to come back home
I am sorry that I hurt you
Repeating the apology for causing pain
And for the mess I left behind
Acknowledging responsibility for the aftermath of the departure
I've been gone for way too long
Reaffirming the acknowledgment of a prolonged absence
But I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Reiterating the commitment to return home
I'm comin' home
Emphasizing the forthcoming return
I'm comin' home
Continued emphasis on the act of returning home
I'm comin' home
Emphasizing the decision to come back home
