Come Back
Jason Lancaster Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All this walking around kills the time but it still helps me think
About everything, used to be you and me
As I walk and I pace it's familiar faces and drinks
They don't drown anything, they don't dull out the sting

'Cause maybe I'd be better off alone and letting go

So baby come back cause I'm falling apart
I'm reaching for words that I meant from the start
With everything said and every wound open
Everything bled and every heart hoping that you'd come back
And we all sing along to words that we knew never fit with the song
Over chords that come unclothed
So we'll sing with our eyes closed
Until you maybe come back

I've had plenty of hours alone with just me and my room
But what keeps peeking through is the pictures of you
And if anyone asks you can tell them I'm doing okay
It's just day after day, I'm still seeing your face

'Cause maybe I'm just better off alone

So baby come back cause I'm falling apart
I'm reaching for words that I meant from the start
With everything said and every wound open
Everything bled and every heart hoping that you'd come back
And we all sing along to words that we knew never fit with the song
Over chords that come unclothed
So we'll sing with our eyes closed
Until you maybe come back

So here I am alone searching for a cover blown
How am I to hide when I've got so much to atone for?
Tell me that you're never gonna throw it away
And the time we have together wasn't something you're afraid of
'Cause we're so much bigger than the moment
Please take my heart as your condolence

So baby come back cause I'm falling apart
I'm reaching for words that I meant from the start
With everything said and every wound open
Everything bled and every heart hoping that you'd come back
And we all sing along to words that we knew never fit with the song
Over chords that come unclothed




So we'll sing with our eyes closed
Until you maybe come back

I don't think it's physically possible for Jason to write a bad song, genuinely jealous of his talent :')

Vintage Jason. I was worried it would all be acoustic and piano but this is incredible.

Alex Wesely

jason lancaster is such an unbelievably talented song writer from his days in mayday to now he just makes killer music.

Iya Penman

Jason, I wish you'd never ever stop writing and making music. What you make is absolute magic. My day becomes one million times brighter when I listen to you. MUCH LOVE. STAY BEAUTIFUL. 

Cyn Kay

Jason has been a favorite of mine since he was in Mayday Parade. Love.

I was heart broken when Go Radio ended. I'm very lucky to have seem them a few times in Tallahassee and once in Orlando.  I'm in love with Jason's singing voice and his song lyrics.  I've been following Jason's music for many years starting when I got the chance to meet him while he was working at a Pancheros and I was working at the Circle K in Tallahassee.  I knew right then that he was a passionate musician.  I'll always follow his music! Totally pre-ordering his new record!  NEVER STOP MAKING MUSIC JASON....NEVER!

GoRadio's a great band, but I still prefer Mayday Parade over them. His harmony with Derek's voice is really just too good.

Jaime Boumont

Love it :)
