I'm Coming Over
Jason Mraz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm dreaming of your face
I can see your beauty
Ten and a half thousand yesterdays
The waning moon illuminates
All the secrets I've been keeping
And cast them off of my balcony
I hope you notice
That I, I'm still in love with you
Yes I
I'm coming over, tonight
I'm coming over, tonight
I hope you notice I was never over you
We hold on to things we said
It makes it more confusing
I won't let the past get in my way
Surrender to the eternality of now
Enjoy the midnight serenade
Oh I, I, I, I, I
I hope you notice
That I, I'm coming over, tonight
I'm coming over, tonight
I'm coming over, just to say "good night"
I hope you notice I was never over you
I hope you notice I was never over you
My mind is crawling
But I still hear the music all around me
You found me
I, I, I, I
God I love this
If ever there was a place that I could stay
I found it
I, I, I, I
I hope you notice
My love
I'm coming over, tonight
I'm coming over, tonight
I'm coming over, just to say "good night"
I hope you notice I was never over you
I hope you notice I was never over you
The lyrics of Jason Mraz’s song I’m Coming Over describe a love that has been rekindled. The singer is dreaming of their lover’s face and recalling past memories. The waning moon illuminates all the secrets that the singer has been keeping and they cast them off their balcony, finally revealing their true emotions. The singer hopes their lover notices that they are still in love with them and declares that they are coming over tonight, just to say goodnight. The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to let go of the past and surrender to the now, in order to be with their loved one again.
The lyrics are full of vivid and emotive imagery, such as the waning moon and the midnight serenade, that add to the overall message of the song. The use of repetition, particularly with “I, I, I, I, I” and “I hope you notice,” reinforces the singer’s emotions and makes them more intense and personal. The song is a heartfelt expression of love and a reminder of the importance of being true to one’s emotions and following one’s heart, rather than holding onto past grudges or regrets.
