Come On
Johan Palm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But something caught my eye that day
I'd spent so much time on my own
I could hardly breathe, but I was home
No more madness
I was flawless
If she could just get away
I'd show her how
No way I was not prepared
Another day in love
Come on, come on, come on, come on
It's not fair
I've had my share
I'd rather be alone
Come on, come on, get in, get out
I thought I picked a different line
I hoped I'd make it back on time
Feeling anxious, fever's high
I'll never stop, and time goes by
You won't blow this
You can't do that
I line up clichés one by one
I'll never stop...
No I won't back down...
No way I was not prepared
Another day in love
Come on, come on, come on, come on
It's not fair
I've had my share
I'd rather be alone
Come on, come on, get in, get out
I was not too sure I'd stay
No, no, no, no
I was not convinced you'd stay
No, no, no, no
I would rather be with someone new...
Ooooh!
No way I was not prepared
Another day in love
Come on, come on, come on, come on
It's not fair
I've had my share
I'd rather be alone
Come on, come on, get in, get out
Come on, come on, get in, get out
Come on, come on, get in, get out
The lyrics of the song "Come on" by Johan Palm explore the emotions experienced by someone who is in love and not sure if the feeling is mutual. The verse "I was not concerned no way, but something caught my eye that day" suggests that the singer was not looking for love, but found it unexpectedly. Despite their initial reluctance to fall in love, they feel at home with this person and are willing to show them everything they have to offer. However, they fear that their feelings might not be reciprocated, leading to anxiety and a sense of urgency to prove themselves.
The chorus repeats the phrase "come on" several times, with the singer seemingly frustrated by the uncertainty of the situation. They feel that they have already given too much of themselves to this person and don't want to be hurt anymore. They would rather be alone than continue in a one-sided relationship. The bridge of the song introduces a slight twist, with the singer questioning whether they really want to be with this person, and whether they would be better off with someone new.
Overall, the song captures the rollercoaster of emotions associated with falling in love, from the initial hesitation to the hope and joy that comes with a mutual connection, and finally the fear and uncertainty that can arise when the relationship is not balanced. The repetition of the chorus adds to the sense of urgency and frustration felt by the singer as they grapple with these emotions.
