Coming Home
Enrique Iglesias Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I feel I'm going nowhere
I'm moving but I just can't find the way
Surrounded by a million faces
They all say, they're my best friends

Take another drink to hide the sorrow
But come the morning, nothing's changed
The concrete skies are rushing by me

And this road is getting old

I don't wanna wait until it's over
I don't wanna wait until it's gone
I can't wait until tomorrow
'Cause I been waiting for so long
So baby I'm coming home, oh oh
Baby I'm coming home

I heard the radio play your favorite song
Made me think of everything we used to do
There's so much we used to talk about
And now I can't, even I say "I miss you", no

I don't wanna wait until it's over
I don't wanna wait until it's gone
I can't wait until tomorrow
'Cause I been waiting for so long
So baby I'm coming home, oh oh
Baby I'm coming home

So turn around, just turn around

I don't wanna wait until it's over
I don't wanna wait until it's gone
I can't wait until tomorrow
'Cause I been waiting for so long
So baby I'm coming home, oh oh
Baby I'm coming home

Baby I'm coming home, oh oh
Baby I'm coming home

Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes I feel I'm going nowhere
I often have this feeling of being directionless

I'm moving but I just can't find the way
Although I'm trying to progress, I'm struggling to determine the correct path

Surrounded by a million faces
There are countless people around me

They all say, they're my best friends
While all of them claim to be my closest friends

Take another drink to hide the sorrow
Drinking more to mask the pain

But come the morning, nothing's changed
However, the next morning, things remain the same

The concrete skies are rushing by me
The cityscape is whizzing past me

And this road is getting old
I'm growing weary of this path

I heard the radio play your favorite song
Your favorite tune aired on the radio and reminded me of you

Made me think of everything we used to do
This recalled our earlier experiences together

There's so much we used to talk about
We had countless conversations back then

And now I can't, even I say 'I miss you', no
But now, not even I can verbalize how much I miss you

I don't wanna wait until it's over
I don't want to wait until it's too late

I don't wanna wait until it's gone
I don't want this chance to pass us by

I can't wait until tomorrow
I don't want to wait until the next day

'Cause I been waiting for so long
I've been yearning for this moment for ages

So baby I'm coming home, oh oh
So, my love, I'm returning back to where we belong

Baby I'm coming home
To be specific, babe, I'm returning home
