When the trio got to the chorus, they fell onto the "I told you I wouldn't call. I told you I wouldn't care" lyric, which they felt would be a cool opening line. "It was very rare that we wrote that long without having a title," said Osborne. "We got near the end of the chorus, and I think Shane said, 'What if it was just like a simple title like 'Come Over,' about these two people who know each other well, and finally the guy says to come over? But what if we said it a bunch of times like he was pleading with her?' Then we felt like we had something."
Come Over
Kenny Chesney Lyrics

Staring at the blades of the fan as it spins around
Counting every crack, the clock is wide awake
Talking to myself, anything to make a sound
I told you I wouldn't call, I told you I wouldn't care
But baby, climbing the walls gets me nowhere
I don't think that I can take this bed getting any colder
You can say we're done the way you always do
It's easier to lie to me than to yourself
Forget about your friends, you know they're gonna say
We're bad for each other, but we ain't good for anyone else
I told you I wouldn't call, I told you I wouldn't care
But baby, climbing the walls gets me nowhere
I don't think that I can take this bed getting any colder
Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over
We don't have to miss each other, come over
We don't have to fix each other, come over
We don't have to say forever, come over
You don't have to stay forever, come over
I told you I wouldn't call, I told you I wouldn't care
But baby, climbing the walls gets me nowhere
I don't think that I can take this bed getting any colder
Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over
Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over
Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over (whoa, whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Kenny Chesney's "Come Over" is a song about the aftereffects of a tumultuous relationship. The song begins with Chesney turning off his TV in a melancholic state, and staring at the spinning blades of his fan. He is restless and finds himself counting the cracks in the wall and talking to himself just to evade the silence. Chesney admits that he previously told his lover that he wouldn't call or care anymore, but he's finding it difficult to cope without them in his life. The pain is intense, and he states that he cannot bear the thought of sleeping alone in a bed that keeps getting colder. The lyrics are very relatable for anyone who has been miserable after a breakup, and captures the anxiety and vulnerability of the situation.
Chesney pleads with his former lover to come over and spend the night. He acknowledges that they might be a terrible match and that their friends disapprove of their coupling, but he doesn't care. Chesney implores his partner to ignore external influences and focus on their personal feelings. He reassures his love interest that they don't have to make any grand pronouncements or commitments, they just need to be together at the moment. Chesney's aching vocals and melancholic melody capture the desperation he feels to be with the one he loves.

I turned the TV off, to turn it on again
I'm restless and can't find anything to distract me from my thoughts
Staring at the blades of the fan as it spins around
I'm feeling stuck and watching something repetitive helps pass the time
Counting every crack, the clock is wide awake
I'm fixating on minor details because I'm so bored and lonely
Talking to myself, anything to make a sound
I'm so desperate for human interaction that I'll talk to myself just to hear a voice
I told you I wouldn't call, I told you I wouldn't care
I'm trying to convince myself that I'm over you, but it's not working
But baby, climbing the walls gets me nowhere
I'm going crazy without you and need to see you soon
I don't think that I can take this bed getting any colder
Sleeping alone is unbearable and I need your warmth
Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over
I'm begging you to come see me, I can't take this loneliness
You can say we're done the way you always do

It's easier to lie to me than to yourself
You're pretending that you're better off without me, but deep down you know you miss me
Forget about your friends, you know they're gonna say
You're letting the opinions of others influence your decision to stay away from me
We're bad for each other, but we ain't good for anyone else

We can take this one step at a time, without having to promise forever
You don't have to stay forever, come over
You're not obligated to stay, but I need you here right now

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
An emotional cry for help and human connection
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
An emotional cry for help and human connection
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
An emotional cry for help and human connection
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
An emotional cry for help and human connection
