Coming Over
James Hersey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it alright if I come 'round
Is it too late if I come now
Would you stay up to figure this out
Some way
If I stay here would you come back
If I stay cool would you be mad
Would you want me if I want you
That way

'Cause all I can think about is coming over, coming over
All I can think about is coming over, coming over
All I can think about is coming over, coming o- coming over

Isn't it strange, oh oh oh, isn't strange, oh oh oh, isn't is strange, oh oh oh
Isn't it strange that every time
I look at your name I'm suddenly high
For you to feel the same I would do almost anything
I'd give away this, give away that
All of my shoes and all of my hats
All I need's you and a bit of music

'Cause all I can think about is coming over, coming over
All I can think about is coming over, coming over
All I can think about is coming over, coming o, coming over

Isn't it strange, oh oh oh, isn't strange, oh oh oh, isn't is strange, oh oh oh, isn't it strange, oh oh oh
'Cause all I can think about is coming over, coming over




All I can think about is coming over, coming over
All I can think about is coming over, coming o-, coming over

Overall Meaning

In James Hersey's "Coming Over," the singer is desperately trying to connect with someone they care about. The opening lines pose a series of questions, begging for permission to come over and talk through their issues. The chorus emphasizes the singer's singular focus: all they can think about is coming to be with the person they're singing to. The bridge deepens our understanding of the singer's emotions; just seeing the object of their affection's name sends them into a sort of euphoria, and they'd give up anything just to achieve mutual feelings.


Overall, the song is a pleading call for connection. It's a modern take on a classic trope in pop music - the desire to be with someone you can't get out of your head. Though the lyrics may seem simple or even cliché at times, Hersey's melody is incredibly catchy, lending an appropriate urgency to the situation.
