Coming Around Again
Ash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby sneezes
Mommy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
So bewildering

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart

Pay the grocer
Fix the toaster
Kiss the host goodbye
When you break a window
Burn a Souffle
Scream the lullaby

I know nothing stays the same (stays the same)
But if you're willing to play the game (play the game)
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart

And I believe in love
But what else can I do
I'm so in love with you
And I believe in love
But what else can I do
I'm so in love with you

I know nothing stays the same (stays the same)
But if you're willing to play the game (play the game)
It will be coming around again

(I, I believe in love)(Baby sneezes)
(I believe in love)(Mommy pleases)
(I believe in love)(Daddy breezes in)

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It will be coming around again

I do believe I do believe I believe in love. I believe in love.
Coming around again coming around again.
Nothing stays the same. But if you're willing to play the game it will be coming around again.





I believe in love. I believe in love. That it's coming around again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ash's song "Coming Around Again" are a poignant reflection on the cyclical nature of life and love. The first verse speaks of the highs and lows of romantic relationships in a whimsical way, with baby sneezes, mommy pleasing, and daddy breezing in. The second verse speaks to the mundane responsibilities of everyday life, from paying the grocer to fixing the toaster, and the emotional weight of goodbyes and mistakes, from kissing the host goodbye to screaming the lullaby. Despite all of this, the chorus speaks to a belief in love and the hope that, even though nothing stays the same, love will come around again.


The repetition of the line "I believe in love" throughout the song reinforces the singer's conviction, while the line "there's more room in a broken heart" suggests that the pain of lost love can be transformative and lead to growth. The final repetition of the chorus, with the addition of "nothing stays the same," emphasizes the inevitable change that comes with time, but also the possibility for new beginnings.

There's something about this melody and these lyrics that moves me deeply, even under distorted guitars and noise. And it's a very faithful cover, all things considered. Great!

@Johnnymnemonic19

What is better than your favorite band covering a song that makes you feel nostalgic.
