Come Home
Yearning Echoes: Matthew Sweet's Quest for Home
Lyrics
When I wake up and recall
Reflecting on waking up and remembering
Drag myself out of the bed
Forcing oneself out of bed
Every time feels like I fall
Each time feels like a metaphorical fall
Even farther than I've been
Falling even deeper than before
I remember how it feels
Recalling the sensation of being lost without a loved one
To be lost without you
Emphasizing the emotional impact of separation
When are you gonna come home
Expressing anticipation and longing for a loved one to return
When are you gonna come home
Repetition, underscoring the urgency of the desire for the person to come home
Face into the wind
Confronting challenges, facing difficulties
I can take the coming storm
Confident in facing upcoming challenges like a storm
But I won't forget again
Learning from past experiences, vowing not to forget
That my heart's already torn
Acknowledging the emotional damage already done to the heart
I remember how it feels
Recollection of the emotional void when separated
To be lost without you
Reiterating the impact of being lost without the loved one
When are you gonna come home
Repeating the plea for the person to come home
When are you gonna come home
Intensifying the emotional appeal for the return
When are you gonna come home
Emphasizing the longing for the loved one to come home
solo
(Solo musical interlude)
When are you gonna come home
Repeating the question of when the person will come home
When are you gonna come home
Reiteration of the longing for the loved one's return
