Come On In
Reconciliation's Melody: Come On In by John Sanger
Lyrics
Yes I said things I regret
Expressing regret for things said in the past
Yes I am a jackass
Admitting to being foolish or insensitive
Yes this is as sorry as I get
Indicating the depth of the apology
Yes I would apologize
Willingness to apologize
If you weren't so stubborn
Noting the other person's stubbornness
I could get a word in edge wise
Expressing difficulty in communication due to stubbornness
Come on in where you been
Inviting someone to come inside
Thought I'd never see you again
Surprise at seeing the person again
How about we just start over
Suggesting a fresh start
And you come on in
Reiterating the invitation to come inside
Come and sit down next to me
Inviting the person to sit down
As I stoke the fire
Creating a cozy atmosphere by stoking the fire
And tell me about how I shouldn't smoke
Acknowledging advice against smoking
I could tell you that I quit
False claim of quitting smoking
But you'd call me a liar
Expecting skepticism about quitting
And I'd love you like the world's greatest joke
Expressing love despite being a joke to the world
Come on in, where you been
Repeating the invitation to come inside
Thought I'd never see you again
Reiteration of surprise at seeing the person again
How about we just start over
Reiterating the desire for a fresh start
And you come on in
Repeating the invitation to come inside
Won't you come on in
Emphasizing the invitation to come in
And you know my favorite songs
Awareness of the other person's favorite songs
And you sing all of the best lyrics wrong
Noting that the person sings lyrics incorrectly
Over and over
Repetition of singing the wrong lyrics
We could meet at a restaurant, or around the corner
Suggesting meeting at various locations
Meet you in the middle if you want
Willingness to compromise and meet halfway
I could listen as you talk or I could stay sober
Offering to listen or stay sober for the conversation
Or we could just go for a walk
Suggesting a simple activity like going for a walk
Come on in, where you been
Repeating the invitation to come inside
Thought I'd never see you again
Reiteration of surprise at seeing the person again
How about we just start over
Reiterating the desire for a fresh start
And you come on in
Repeating the invitation to come inside
Won't you come on in
Emphasizing the invitation to come in
Won't you come on in
Final plea for the person to come inside
