Back For Me
Longing Roads: Electric Guest's 'Back For Me' Unveiled
Lyrics
Watched you drive away, you're back out on the road
Reflecting on watching someone leave and embark on a journey.
Tried to make L.A. a second place for home
Attempting to make Los Angeles a secondary home, suggesting a desire for connection.
And I know we've got a thousand ways to go
Acknowledging the multitude of potential paths in life.
And there's not much more I know I can control
Expressing a lack of control over certain aspects of life.
Are you coming back for me?
Pondering whether the person will return.
Hope you're coming back for me
Expressing hope for the person's return.
Now you've got the time, remember who you are
Encouraging the person to remember their identity during their journey.
Miles and miles from me, I feel it though you're far
Feeling a distance despite physical separation.
And I know we've got a thousand ways to be
Recognizing diverse possibilities for their relationship.
But it still won't do until you come for me
Conveying that various options are insufficient until the person returns.
Are you coming back for me?
Reiterating the question of the person's return.
Hope you're coming back for me
Expressing continued hope for the person's return.
Coming back for me
Repeating the desire for the person to come back.
Hope you're coming back for me
Reiterating the hope for the person's return.
I always want you here
Expressing a constant desire for the person's presence.
And I'm trying to find a reason, but I only want to hear
Struggling to find a rational explanation for the desire, suggesting it's driven by emotion.
Coming back for me
Repeating the question of the person's return.
Hope you're coming back for me
Continuing to express hope for the person's return.
Coming back for me
Repeating the desire for the person to come back.
Hope you're coming back for me
Reiterating the hope for the person's return.
For now, I know I'm on my own
Acknowledging a period of being alone in the absence of the person.
Until the day you call me home
Anticipating a future day when the person will bring them back.
For now, I know I'm on my own
Repeating the acknowledgment of being alone until the awaited day.
Until the day you call me home
Expressing the ultimate expectation of being reunited with the person.
