Come on
Civet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
from Houston baby.
And hearing you breathe on the line,
Is making me crazy. (crazy)
They can say what they want,
What's real and what's not.
They can say what they want babe,
But,
I've had it real bad since I,
First made out with you,
Come on, Come on.
It's a long time spent,
On the road baby.
And we both know how it goes,
Even though I'm a lady.
They can say what they want,
What's real and what's not.
They can say what they want babe,
But,
We both know the truth.
I've had it real bad since I,
First made out with you,
Come on, Come on.
Now I wanna be your girl,
So Come On.
Now I wanna be your girl,
So, Come On.
They can say what they want,
What's real and what's not.
They can say what they want babe,
But,
We both know the truth.
I've had it real bad since I,
First made out with you,
Come on, Come on.
They can say what they want babe,
But,
We both know the truth.
I've had it real bad since I,
First laid eyes on you,
Come on, Come on!
Come On, Come On!
Come On, Come On!
Come On, Come On!
Yeah!
In Civet's song "Come On," the lyrics tell a story of longing and desire for someone who is far away. The singer, who is on the road, is missing the person they care about and feels crazy just hearing them breathe on the phone. Despite what others may say, the singer and their love interest know the truth about their feelings for each other. The chorus repeats the line "I've had it real bad since I, first made out with you" as a way of emphasizing the intensity of their emotions. The singer ultimately wants to be with this person and becomes vocal about their desire in the final lines of the song.
The lines "It's a long, long way, from Houston baby" and "It's a long time spent, On the road baby" speak to the distance between the singer and their love interest, creating a sense of yearning within the lyrics. The contrast between the masculine energy of being on the road and the feminine energy of being a lady makes the singer's character complex and adds depth to the lyrics. The repetition of the phrase "Come On" throughout the song speaks to the singer's desire for their love interest and the urgency they feel to be with them.
