Coming Back
Avi Snow Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

V1
I see a storm and a vessel
And it's fighting its battle
And it finally settles
hmm

Now it's looking for land
See the signal I send

Now it heads to the strand
Hmm

PreCh.:
I
Hope it's you
coming back to me are
You coming back

Ch.:
With the
Rain on my window
Wonder where did you go
Try to warm my soul (when)
Time passes too slow

And the rain on my window
Is turning into snow
Try to warm my soul
Time passes too slow

V2:
Rain or storm doesn't matter
You make it whether the weather
Sure I couldn't do better
Hmm

Swimming against the tide
Hope I can help as your guide
Hope you can follow the light
I send

Ch.:
With the
Rain on my window
Wonder where did you go
Try to warm my soul (when)
Time passes too slow

And the rain on my window
Is turning into snow
Try to warm my soul
Time passes too slow

M8
One day will be together
Bad days we won't remember
I forecast it'll get better
For you and I

3xCh.:
With the
Rain on my window
Wonder where did you go
Try to warm my soul (when)
Time passes too slow

And the rain on my window
Is turning into snow

Try to warm my soul
Time passes too slow
