Come Back Song
Darius Rucker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And wouldn't you know it, pouring rain
I went and burned a pot of coffee
And like us I poured it down the drain
'Cause I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
I know I've said I wouldn't miss you
But now I'm saying I'm a fool
You're on the feel good side of leaving
And I'm the backside of a mule
And I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my so sad, come back song
And now I'm laying down without you
In this king size, empty bed
And I wish I had my arms around you
But I'll just dream of you instead
'Cause I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my get back, come back
Hey, I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go and letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my my bad, come back song
Oh yeah, yeah
I know I, I said I wouldn't miss you
I said I wouldn't miss you, girl, yeah
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
We all sang, na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na, yeah
Come on now
This is my my bad, come back song
The lyrics to Darius Rucker's song "Come Back Song" explore the theme of regret and longing for a lost love. The singer wakes up to a rainy day and realizes that, in the absence of his lover, he is alone and miserable. He recognizes that he made a mistake by letting her go and now wants her to return. He acknowledges that he previously said he wouldn't miss her, but now realizes he was a fool to think so. He compares himself to the backside of a mule, which implies that he feels like a burden or a hindrance to his ex-girlfriend.
The chorus of the song, "I didn't know I needed you so, and letting you go was wrong," is a powerful summary of the singer's state of mind. He didn't realize how much he relied on his partner until she was gone, and he now understands that breaking up with her was a mistake. The phrase "my bad" in the second chorus is an informal way of saying "I'm sorry." The bridge of the song adds to the sense of melancholy, with the singer describing his empty bed and wishing he could hold his ex-girlfriend again. The final chorus repeats the refrain and expresses the singer's desire to make things right with his love.

I woke up again this morning
Another day begins and reveals the same reality of being without you.
And wouldn't you know it, pouring rain
The sad weather outside feels fitting with my somber mood.
I went and burned a pot of coffee
Even the small and simple things in my life are going wrong without you.
And like us I poured it down the drain
Just as we let our love slip away, I let the coffee slip away as well.
'Cause I didn't know I needed you so
I was foolish to not realize how much you meant to me.
And letting you go was wrong
My mistake was not fighting harder to keep you by my side.
And baby, I know you got your radio on
I imagine you out there listening to this song and I hope it reaches you.
So this is my my bad, come back song
This song is my way of apologizing and hoping you'll give me another chance.
I know I've said I wouldn't miss you
I tried to convince myself that I could move on, but I was wrong.
But now I'm saying I'm a fool
Now I see that I was foolish to let you go and not fight for us.
You're on the feel good side of leaving
You've moved on and are doing fine, but I'm hurting and heartbroken.
And I'm the backside of a mule
I feel like I'm carrying the weight of our relationship and its failure on my back.
And now I'm laying down without you
I'm alone and missing you in this big, empty bed.
In this king size, empty bed
Even this luxurious bed feels empty and meaningless without you.
And I wish I had my arms around you
I long to hold you and feel your warmth and comfort.
But I'll just dream of you instead
Since I can't have you here with me, I'll settle for dreaming of you.
So this is my get back, come back
My hope is that this song will bring you back to me.
Hey, I didn't know I needed you so
I realize how much I truly need and want you in my life.
And letting you go and letting you go was wrong

And baby, I know you got your radio on
I imagine you out there listening to this song and I hope it touches your heart.
So this is my my bad, come back song
This song is my way of apologizing and asking for your forgiveness and love back.

Darius Rucker's has a tone that is not common in country. I love hearing his songs, it's relaxing and feels nostalgic.
@joshseaton3246
Totally agree! I'm a fan of alot of different music but country in general is not one of em. I love Darius Rucker as well as some other older country artists!
