In the back room something I heard you say
We didn't wanna call it too early
Now it seems a world away but I miss that day
Are we ever gonna feel the same?
Standing in the light till it's over, out of our minds
Someone had to draw a line
We'll be coming back for you one day
I don't even care if I know you, out of our minds
Sad to leave it all behind
We'll be coming back
We'll be coming back for you one day
You can see it from afar, we were riding that wave
Blinded by the lights, and it's something I crave
We didn't want to call it too early
Now it seems a world away, but I miss that day
Are we ever gonna feel the same?
Standing in the light till it's over, out of our minds
Someone had to draw a line
We'll be coming back for you one day
We'll be coming back for you one day
I don't even care if I know you, out of our minds
Sad to leave it all behind
We'll be coming back for you one day
We'll be coming back for you one day
Gonna rise, gonna fall, getting pulled apart
And we all do it all 'cause it stole our hearts
Gonna light up the skies, so ignore the stars
And we all do it all 'cause it stole our hearts
Standing in the light till it's over, out of our minds
Someone had to draw a line
We'll be coming back for you one day
We'll be coming back for you one day
I don't even care if I know you, out of our minds
Sad to leave it all behind
We'll be coming back for you one day
We'll be coming back for you one day
'We'll Be Coming Back' by Example and Calvin Harris is an introspective song about nostalgia and the memories of a simpler time that the singer misses. The song is particularly poignant because it suggests that time has passed, and they can never quite get that same magic back, but they will try. The opening verse, "We took it all apart, but I'm wishing I'd stayed / In the back room, something I heard you say," talks about the singer leaving the fun and excitement behind. They regret having left because they miss the innocent vibes and simplicity of that space. The lyrics go on to express the desire to go back to the same feeling and experience, but they know it is impossible.
The chorus "Standing in the light till it's over, out of our minds / Someone had to draw a line / We'll be coming back for you one day / We'll be coming back for you one day," suggests that the singer and a group of people were enjoying themselves and got carried away but someone had to step in to enforce a boundary. The chorus reinforces the idea that they will someday revisit the same feeling, even if it may not be as memorable. The following section goes on to demonstrate how these memories were a form of escapism, providing the escapists with a sense of purpose.
In conclusion, 'We'll Be Coming Back' by Example and Calvin Harris is intended to take listeners back to the ecstatic and euphoric memories of a simpler time in their lives. The lyrics show the pain of not being able to go back but hoping to find it again. The chorus reinforces the idea that they will revisit the same feeling someday, although it might not feel the same as it did the first time.

@MasterChoof
Olaitan Roberts Well You are not the only one why listens to all kinds of music all the time. You are not special in that area.
Its all a matter of taste, and there really is no taste better than the other.
The reason why more people like you comment, is because there are people who share your oppinion. I doubt people eve read my comments.
Like I wrote before. You can´t please everyone, so there will be people liking something and people disliking the same thing.
It still does not mean right or wrong here. It just means that more people read your comment and shared your oppinion, while you can find other comments who are the opposite of your comment with many likes.
I am neutral, I just don´t choose a side like that.
A lot of people share the same taste of music, but I am 100% sure that there are other huge amounts of people that dislike the things you like. So are they more right than you? NO!
Because its all a matter of oppinion.
I am acceptive when it comes towards all kinds of songs, and then there are some that I like more and those are the ones that I listen to.

We took it all apart
But I'm wishing I'd stayed
In the back room something I heard you say
We didn't want to call it too early
Now it seems a world away
But I miss that day,
Are we ever gonna feel the same?
Standing in the light till it's over
Out of our minds
Someone had to draw a line
We'll be coming back for you one day
We'll be coming back for you one day
I don't even care if I know you
Out of our minds
Sad to leave it all behind
We'll be coming back
We'll be coming back for you one day
You can see it from afar
We were riding that wave
Blinded by the lights, and it's something I crave
We didn't want to call it too early
Now it seems a world away
But I miss that day,
Are we ever gonna feel the same?
Standing in the light till it's over
Out of our minds
Someone had to draw a line
We'll be coming back for you one day
We'll be coming back for you one day
I don't even care if I know you
Out of our minds
Sad to leave it all behind
We'll be coming back for you one day
We'll be coming back for you one day
Gonna rise, gonna fall, getting pulled apart
And we all do it all cause it stole our hearts
Gonna light up the skies, or ignore the stars
And we all do it all cause it stole our hearts
Standing in the light till it's over
Out of our minds
Someone had to draw a line
We'll be coming back for you one day
We'll be coming back for you one day
I don't even care if I know you
Out of our minds
Sad to leave it all behind
We'll be coming back for you one day
We'll be coming back for you one day
