Come on
Films.The Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, baby, pick up the phone
Because I'm drunk and alone
I need someone to take me home
And I wish it was you

Well get me out of this place
'Cause I've got blood on my face
And I'm getting tired of tasting my shoe

Well, but how in the devil'd get into trouble?
I don't think I'll ever be sure
But there's one thing I'm sure of
Is there's no love like your love

So come on
Well, quit dragging me down and come on
I've waited around for you to come
And get me out of here

Well, it was a god-awful scene
At the bar down on King
In fact, this whole night's been troubling
To say the least

Phony friends, phony names
Exchanging numbers, playing games
Well, I guess I should do the same
But it's just not me

Well, but how in the devil'd get into trouble?
I don't think I'll ever be sure
But there's one thing I'm sure of
Is there's no love like your love

So come on
Well, quit dragging me down and come on
I've waited around for you to come
And get me out of here

Well, so come on
Well, stop thinking about it, come on




You know I'm working it out
And I don't think I can wait another year

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Come on" by Films.The tell the story of a drunken night out with phony friends, phony names and playing games, which eventually leaves the singer in a bar with blood on his face and tasting his shoe, wishing for someone to take him home. He's sure that he's in trouble but cannot explain how it happened. However, the one thing he's sure of is that there's no love like the person he's singing to, and he wants them to come and save him from this mess. In the second verse, he describes how the night has been troubling, and he thinks he should do what the others are doing, exchanging numbers and playing games, but that's just not him. The chorus repeats the plea for the person he's singing to come and get him out of there.


The song portrays a sense of desperation and longing for love and connection in a world full of superficiality and chaos. The singer is lost and wishes for someone to rescue him from his troubles. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has ever felt alone or lost in a situation but found solace in their loved ones.
