Here They Come
John Williams & The Skywalker Symphony Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
just when I've begun to get myself together,
you waltz right in the door,
just like you've done before
and wrap my heart 'round your little finger.
Here you come again,
just when I'm about to make it work without you,
and pretty soon I'm wond'rin how I came to doubt you.
All you gotta do is smile that smile
and there go all my defenses.
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
you're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses.
Here you come again lookin' better than a body has a right to;
and shakin' me up so that all I really know
is here you come again and here I go.
All you gotta do is smile that smile
and there got all my defenses.
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
you're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses.
Here you come again lookin' better than a body has a right to;
and shakin' me up so that all I really know
is here you come again and here I go and here I go
The above lyrics are from the song "Here They Come!" by John Williams and Skywalker Symphony Orchestra. The song speaks to the pull of an ex-lover on the singer's emotions. The singer speaks of their struggle to move on from their former flame, only to have them reappear and effortlessly captivate them once again with their charm and lies.
The lyrics convey the helplessness of the singer, who seems unable to resist the pull of their former lover. They express the frustration and confusion that arise when the singer's resolve to move on is tested. The lines "just when I'm about to make it work without you, you look into my eyes and lie those pretty lies" exemplifies this, highlighting the fact that the singer's efforts to let go are thwarted by the return of their ex.
The lyrics' repetitive nature lends itself to the song's overall mood, which is one of cyclical motions and the futility of attempting to break free. The song's crescendo captures the sense of spiraling that is often associated with toxic relationships, where the singer is repeatedly drawn back in, caught up in a cycle of highs and lows.
Line by Line Meaning
Here you come again,
You've returned once more when I thought I had moved on
just when I've begun to get myself together,
Just as I started to feel whole and complete without you
you waltz right in the door,
You enter effortlessly, with the grace of a dancer
just like you've done before
Repeating the same familiar pattern as in the past
and wrap my heart 'round your little finger.
Your charming ways ensnare my heart and make it yours
just when I'm about to make it work without you,
When I'm close to making life without you a success
you look into my eyes and lie those pretty lies
With your gaze, you deceive me with your attractive falsehoods
and pretty soon I'm wond'rin how I came to doubt you.
Before long, I'm left pondering how I could have ever mistrusted you
All you gotta do is smile that smile
A single smile from you is all it takes
and there go all my defenses.
My guard is instantly lowered, leaving me vulnerable to you
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
In no time at all, you'll have control over me
you're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses.
You're causing mental chaos and flooding my senses with your presence
Here you come again lookin' better than a body has a right to;
You're returning with a charm and beauty that seems almost unfair
and shakin' me up so that all I really know
You're so powerful that all I can feel is your impact on me
is here you come again and here I go.
All I can think is that you've returned, and I'll be pulled back into your grasp
Here you come again and here I go and here I go.
Once again, you've returned, and once again, I'm being controlled by you
