Lyrics
I’m taking off again
I'm leaving again
On a not so quick kinda business trip
Embarking on a business trip that isn't swift
The road ain’t my friend
The road is not friendly
It pulls us apart every chance it gets
Distance separates us frequently
Another late night phone call
A late-night call ensues
Two time zones sure make you feel alone
Being in different time zones intensifies the feeling of loneliness
And we’re starting to fall
Relationship is deteriorating
Fall apart going up in smoke
Disintegration, going up in smoke
It goes right to my head
Emotional impact, affecting thoughts
Every time she says
Her plea to return affects deeply
Come back to me and you
Return to the shared moments and connection
Spinnin’ to vinyl in the living room
Enjoying music together, nostalgic setting
Come back where you belong
Return to your rightful place
Front seat singing those country songs
Recalling joyful times singing country songs
It kills me, I can’t be, where I want, wanna be
Painful realization of not being where desired
Every time you ask (You ask)
Repeating the desire to return
I wanna come back (Come back) come back (Come back)
Expressing the longing to come back
Babe I wanna come back
Reiteration of the desire to return
Come back (Come back) come back (Come back)
Longing to return, emphasizing
Baby I’m coming back
Affirmation of the intention to return
I’ll be home soon
Promising a return soon
That’s what I tell her walkin’ out that door
Assuring her while leaving
Sunday afternoons
Sundays should not be spent in transit
Shouldn’t be spent in an old airport
Expressing dissatisfaction with the situation
Baby where are you going?
Questioning her destination
North? South? Girl I don’t even know
Uncertainty about her travel direction
Come back to me and you
Reiteration of the desire to return
Spinnin’ to vinyl in the living room
Recalling shared moments and music
Come back where you belong
Urge to return to the rightful place
Front seat singing those country songs
Revisiting joyful times singing country songs
It kills me, I can’t be, where I want, wanna be
Pain of not being where desired
Every time you ask (You ask)
Repetition of the desire to return
I wanna come back (Come back) come back (Come back)
Expressing the strong urge to come back
Babe I wanna come back
Reiteration of the longing to return
Come back (Come back) come back (Come back)
Emphasizing the desire to come back
Baby I’m coming back
Affirmation of the imminent return
Come back to me and you
Repeating the plea to return
Come back to me and you
Repeating the shared moments and connection
Spinnin’ to vinyl in the living room
Reiterating the enjoyment of music together
Come back where you belong
Repeating the call to return to the rightful place
Front seat singing those country songs
Repeating the joy of singing country songs
It kills me, I can’t be, where I want, wanna be
Reiterating the pain of not being where desired
Every time you ask (You ask)
Repetition of the desire to return and the associated pain
I wanna come back (Come back) come back (Come back)
Expressing the strong urge to come back
Babe I wanna come back
Reiteration of the longing to return
Come back (Come back) come back (Come back)
Emphasizing the desire to come back
Baby I’m coming back
Affirmation of the imminent return
