Come Back to Me
Indecent Obsession Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But never losing sleep
Of the dreams that have gone wrong
I'm sure it won't be long before you are here
Oh...before you are here....
Pain they say it all takes time
It can tear two worlds apart
And leave but a beating heart
Before you are here...
Oh...before you are here....
Won't you come back to me?
Don't leave me all alone.
My love will be the key that brings you home
Won't you come back to me?
Please don't go away...
My love will be as strong as yesterday....
Leave don't ever fade away
Just think of yesterday
When the love that brought us near
Had the warmth to shed a tear
Oh before you are here....
Won't you come back to me?
Don't leave me all alone.
My love will be the key that brings you home
Won't you come back to me?
Please don't go away...
My love will be as strong as yesterday....

They plead with their lover to come back to them, not to leave them alone, and that their love will be the key to bringing them home. The singer reminisces on times when their love was still strong, and asks their lover not to fade away.
The song speaks of the universal theme of lost love and the pain that comes with it, but does so in a way that is both sad and hopeful. The singer recognizes the pain that comes with losing a lover but is still hopeful that their lover will return. The chorus pleads with their lover to come back to them, using the strength of their love as the reason why they should return.

Cry an everlasting weep
Endlessly mourn and grieve
But never losing sleep
Despite the pain, still able to carry on with life
Of the dreams that have gone wrong
Sorrowful about the shattered aspirations
I'm sure it won't be long before you are here
Confident about the lover's return
Pain they say it all takes time
People say it takes time to heal from hurt
It hurts if the words don't rhyme
It's painful when expectations are not met
It can tear two worlds apart
The aftermath of a broken relationship can cause immense destruction
And leave but a beating heart
Only the heart keeps on living, but everything else seems dead
Won't you come back to me?
A plea for the lover's return
Don't leave me all alone.
The fear of abandonment and loneliness
My love will be the key that brings you home
The promise of love as the way to reunite
Please don't go away...
Begging to be not left alone
My love will be as strong as yesterday....
Assurance that the love is still alive and unchanging
Leave don't ever fade away
A plea for the memories not to fade with time
Just think of yesterday
Remembering the happy moments
When the love that brought us near
The bond that united the lovers
Had the warmth to shed a tear
The love so strong that it brings tears to the eyes

Brilliant 90's power ballad, which should have been a much bigger hit than it was. I don't know if there will ever be an Indecent Obsession reunion?
Jason Bat Channel
No it was 80's

Shame they didn't last longer during their time. A boyband that can really play instruments
