Come Back
Jean-Louis Morville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep the wood stove burning bright
Be the first to say I'm sorry
After fighting half the night
So come on back, come on back
Let me love you if you can
Come on back, come on back
Who'll pick up the pieces when
Strong words cut to the bone
Who'll be there to hold me tight
When I'm feeling all alone
So come on back, come on back
Let me love you if you can
Come on back, come on back
You're my best friend, you're my man
Who'll bring me flowers
To cheer me when I'm low
Who'll say I love you
You're beautiful, you know?
Sometimes it's so hard to see
Just what you value most
Until it's gone and all that's left
Is a memory, or a ghost
Come on back, come on back
Let me love you if you can
Come on back, come on back
You're my best friend, you're my man
Some say there's none so blind
As those who will not see
Who walk through life's forest
Without seeing a single tree
I never heard the ticking clock
I let the grain of sand
Slip through my fingers when it was
Right there in my own hand
So come on back, come on back
Let me love you if you can
Come on back, come on back
You're my best friend, you're my man
The lyrics of Jean-Louis Morville's song "Come back" express the longing of someone who has let their love slip away, but now wishes for them to return. The first verse sets the tone for the entire song, as it asks who will be there to keep the home fires burning and to make amends after an argument. It implies that the singer is missing the little things that make a relationship work, and is reaching out to their partner to come back and reclaim their love.
The chorus then emphasizes the singer's desire for their loved one to return and be the person they fell in love with. The lyrics "Let me love you if you can" suggest that perhaps the relationship was in trouble because one or both partners were struggling with issues that prevented them from fully connecting with each other. The singer hopes that their partner will be able to overcome these barriers and come back to them, so they can continue to grow together as a couple.
The second verse touches on the idea of picking up the pieces after an argument or fight, and highlights the importance of being there for each other when times are tough. The lyrics "Who'll be there to hold me tight/ When I'm feeling all alone" underscore the idea that a strong relationship is built on trust and support, and that each partner must be willing to be vulnerable and ask for help when they need it.
The final verse brings everything together with the image of the ticking clock and the slipping sand. The lyrics imply that the singer has perhaps taken their relationship for granted, and that they are now realizing the true value of their love. It is a poignant reminder that it's never too late to reach out and try to reclaim something that was lost.
