Coming Back to Me
Heather Myles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never thought I'd need you, baby, like I need you now.
Never thought you'd leave me here, well now the rain's a-comin' down.
I'd cross an endless ocean to prove my love.
Cause you're the only one I'm thinkin' of.

Oooh, ooh, baby.
Oooh, ooh, when you coming home to me?
Oooh, I need you, baby.
When you coming back, coming back to me?

No more lovin' in the mornin' like we used.
Followed by a cigarette.
A little brandy in my coffee now,
Helps me swallow my regret.

Oooh, ooh, baby.
Oooh, ooh, when you coming home to me?
Oooh, ooh, I need you, baby.
When you coming back, coming back to me?

Now I think of my mistakes I've made,
Never told you that I loved you, babe. (You never told me.)
Give me a moment just to talk to you,
I'll make you want me like you used to, baby.

Oooh, ooh, baby.
Oooh, ooh, when you coming home to me, yeah?
Oooh, ooh, I need you, baby.
When you coming back, coming back to me? (When you coming?)

Oooh, ooh, baby.
Oooh, ooh, when you coming home to me.
Oooh, ooh, I need you, baby.
When you coming back, coming back to me?
(When you coming back?)




(Coming back.)
(Coming back to me?)

Overall Meaning

The song "Coming Back to Me" by Heather Myles speaks of an individual who didn't realize the importance of their partner until they left, and now they long for their return. The first verse talks about how the person never thought they'd need their love interest as much as they do now, and how they didn't expect to be left alone in the rain. The singer is willing to go to any length to show their love, as they're consumed by thoughts of their partner.


In the second verse, the singer reflects on the changes in their routine and how they now have a little brandy in their coffee to cope with their sorrow. The chorus repeats the longing for their partner to come back, and towards the end of the song, the singer acknowledges their mistakes and expresses regret for not expressing their love or appreciation, promising to make the person want them again.


Overall, the song is a classic example of how love can blind us and how we often take our loved ones for granted. It emphasizes the importance of expressing love, affection, and gratitude to those we value before it's too late.
