Homecoming
Hey Monday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Summer's over, hope it's not too late
I'm pacing, impatient, up in my head
Taken back to the sidewalk where we met
And carved out our names
Do you remember that?
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you
I'm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If I'm falling, falling apart for you
Descending, I'm spinning, lost all defense
How could you swallow me again?
I left you, I meant to, couldn't let you in
Never mind a single word I said
Carve out your name
Do you remember that?
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you
I'm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If I'm falling, falling apart
You've got control of me, is this the end of me?
'Cause I just can't cut up the strings
I'm coming back for more, don't let your heart go
Please don't walk away
Homecoming, I'm coming
I'm coming back
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you
I'm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If I'm falling, falling apart
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
(Homecoming, I'm coming, my sweet mistake)
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you
(Summer's over, hope it's not too late)
I'm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
(Homecoming, I'm coming, my sweet mistake)
If I'm falling, falling apart for you
The song Homecoming by Hey Monday is a heartfelt plea from the singer to their lost love. The song opens with the singer saying they are heading back to their hometown, which is the place where they first met their partner. They reminisce about the moment where they carved their names on the sidewalk together and wonders if their partner remembers that moment as well. However, as the song progresses, the singer's emotions become more complicated, and they question if their partner ever waited for them or moved on when they were away. The uncertainty felt by the singer continues to grow as they ponder if their partner would still accept them, despite all the wrong they have done. The song also highlights how the singer feels lost and vulnerable without their love and how they wish to return to the comforting feeling of home.
The chorus, "I'm coming home, I wanna know when all the leaves begin to fall if I'm falling apart," illustrates the singer's fears of falling, both emotionally and physically. The falling leaves symbolize the end of summer and the fall season, which brings darker and colder days. The singer is uncertain if they will be able to keep their hold on their love or continue to fall apart.
Overall, Homecoming is a song that delves deep into lost love, uncertainty, and the need for a comforting and familiar presence. The singer is lost without their partner, and this song explores the hope, fear, and vulnerability they feel as they embark on a journey back home.
