Come Here Boy
Imogen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Visions are flashing into my head
As I reminisce
My reoccurring dreams and you said
I'm falling, falling for you, babe,
And my feelings are gettin' stronger,
So why don't you stay with me for a
[Chorus]
Come here, boy
Oh, come here, boy yeah
Come here, boy
Oh, come here, boy
I know that my face
Is only too familiar to your sleep
I can see it in your eyes
And I can tell by your body heat
Why are you taking so long?
You need to come and find me, honey
To set your mind at rest
And let your dreams run free
[Chorus: x2]
You know, I'm no stranger in your dreams
You know, I'm not stranger in your dreams
Oh and I'm craving, I'm howling,
I'm begging and pleading
Be mine tonight
Oh and I'm waiting, I'm dying,
I'm wanting and I'm needing
To show you this night
Where I'll be touching and holding
Caressing and giving you
Your every fantasy, yeah
I'll get you dreaming and lusting
I'm Burning and praying
For more of this ecstasy
[Chorus: x2]
You know,
You know,
I'm no stranger in your dreams.
In Imogen's song Come Here Boy, the lyrics speak to the idea of wanting someone so much that they are present in your dreams every night. The verse speaks about being in a dark place where visions are flashing into the singer's head, reminiscent of their reoccurring dreams. The chorus is a plea for the person who is being dreamed about to come to the singer, stay for a little longer, and be theirs tonight. The second verse paints a picture of how the person being dreamed about can sense the singer's presence in their dreams, evidenced in their facial expressions and body heat. The singer longs for the person to find them so that they can set their mind at rest and let their dreams run free.
The bridge of the song is full of intense desire and want. The singer is craving the person they dream about, and their passion is so strong that they are howling, begging, and pleading for them to be theirs. They describe how they will touch and hold, caress and give - the singer is offering everything they can to this person. The chorus repeats twice more, emphasizing the desire and longing for the person sleeping to come to them. The final line, "I'm no stranger in your dreams," is a powerful statement that might be interpreted in a multitude of ways - is the singer saying that they are always present, or that they know the person sleeping as intimately as a partner would?

even if time passes by and I think I'll forget about this song, it never happens...there is always a day in which I suddenly remember about it and so I run on youtube to listen to it...love her and her voice, this song is perfect
@mantellacrux5607
This is a reminder
@AmieTat2
She's not a man... sheesh. She reminds me of a poised and brilliant amazon. She's tall, statuesque, and has more music talent in her pinkie than I could ever hope for in my whole body. Just remember, there are all types of women in this world. Not all are petite little flowers.... And this song is just absolutely gorgeous.

@csifriendsscrubsfan I've read she wrote this song about a teacher that she was infatuated by. Love the "come her boy" vocal; she sounds so vulnerable and wanting. Later, when she tells what she will do for the object of her lust, she does so with a confident swager. Really a wonderfully seductive song.
@Migtopia
This song was playing on the night I first kissed my boyfriend. It's been our song ever since!
