Come Again
Katie Jewels Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are
We never want the same
You've gone too far
There is no-one more to blame
I take this step
And never be afraid
Of what to come
And let it all fade

Come again, come again
Why you cannot be my friend?
Be a man and be with me
Till the end
Here we are, here we say
Can't it always be this day
You're my star
I want you to stay
Come again, come again
Why you cannot be my friend?
Be a man and be with me
Till the end
Here we are, here we say
Can't it always be this day
You're my star
I want you to stay
Don't leave me this way
...be a man and be with me
Till the end
Here we are, here we say
Can't it always be this day
You're my star
I want you to stay
Come again, come again
Why you cannot be my friend?
Be a man and be with me
Till the end
Here we are, here we say
Can't it always be this day
You're my star

I want you to stay
Don't leave me this way
