Come Back
♥Depeche Mode♥ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be waiting patiently
Come back, come back to me
I'll be waiting here patiently
Walking a thin white line
Between love and hate
Wasting all my time in another world
I could use a little company
A little kindness can go a long way
Weeks turn into months
Months turn into years
Reaching the same conclusions
Gathering up the fear
Come back, come back to me
I'll be waiting patiently
Come back, come back to me
I'll be waiting here patiently
A light will always shine in the heart of you
In truth and in reality, only blindness can hide it away
I could use a little restraint
A little kindness can go a long way
Weeks turn into months
Months turn into years
Reaching the same conclusions
Gathering up the fear
You're living the same delusions
Gathering up the fear
Gathering up the fear
Gathering up the fear
Gathering up the fear
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
The lyrics to Depeche Mode's song "Come Back" speaks to the longing for someone who has gone away and the desire for their return. The repeated refrain of "come back to me, I'll be waiting patiently" illustrates the singer's deep longing for their loved one to return to them. The words "walking a thin white line between love and hate" implies the complexity of relationships and the potential for a fine line between the two emotions. The singer acknowledges that they have wasted time in another place, indicating regret for not remaining present within the relationship. The singer admits to feeling fear, and coming to the same conclusions over time. The line "A light will always shine in the heart of you, in truth, and in reality, only blindness can hide it away" suggests that the person who has left is loved deeply by the singer, regardless of any wrongdoing on their part.
The lyrics "weeks turn into months, months turn into years," speaks to the passage of time and the singer's realization that their loved one has been gone for an extended period of time. The echoing of "gathering up the fear" emphasizes the fear and uncertainty that the singer feels in their absence. The song ends with a final plea for their loved one to "come back," as the singer waits patiently for their return.

I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
The gods decree
You'll be right here by my side
Right next to me
You can run, but you cannot hide
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'cause it's no good
I'll be fine
I'll be waiting patiently
Till you see the signs
And come running to my open arms
When will you realise
Do we have to wait till our worlds collide
Open up your eyes
You can't turn back the tide
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'cause it's no good
I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'cause it's no good
