For the past year, LÉON and Swedish producer, Agrin Rahmani, have been developing a strong body of work, the first taste of which we heard on "Tired Of Talking", her debut single. In 2018. In the buildup toward her debut album, LÉON scored another hit with it's rousing single, "You and I" the album, simply titled LÉON, appeared in March 2019, followed by tours of Europe and North America.
In October 2020, she returned with her sophomore album, "Apart". Recorded in Stockholm with longtime collaborator Martin Stilling, the album found LÉON continuing to build on her mellow, melodic pop sound. "Circles", her third full-length album, arrived in March 2022. Inluded on the album were the previously released singles, "Dancer, "Soaked, and "Wishful Thinking".
Come Home to Me
LÉON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saying I wouldn't be home again
I get so caught between everything I feel
I'm stubborn and I won't say sorry
Write it out 'cause I know that you worry
Wonder where I've been
Got you questioning
I start a forest fire and burn us down
But you know at the end of the night, I'll come around
Maybe I did you wrong and made you bleed
Maybe you made mistakes that got me on my knees
And maybe we're a mess, but it works for me
'Cause I know that every time you leave, you come home to me
You keep to your side of the bed now
Cold shoulder, turning your head
Saying things that you don't mean, painful honesty
You cut me right through the centre
Throw my hands up, but I won't surrender
When did words become all our weapons? Mmh
These tears are making me blind, I don't know why
We start a forest fire and burn us down
But I know at the end of the night, you'll come around
Maybe I did you wrong and made you bleed
Maybe you made mistakes, and that got me on my knees
Maybe we're a mess, but it works for me
'Cause I know that every time you leave, you come home
Oh, love, hold me closer 'til we're old 'cause
You know that in your arms I feel at
Home, love, take me over, say you know now
You know, you know, you know, you know
Maybe I did you wrong and made you bleed
Maybe you made mistakes and it got me off my feet
Maybe we're just a mess, but it works for me
'Cause I know that every time you leave, you come home to me
Come home, come home, come home
The lyrics of Léon's "Come Home to Me" describe a relationship that is marked by misunderstandings, hurtful words, and disagreements, yet still remains functional and loving. The song suggests that the couple is going through a rough patch, but at the end of the day, they know they will find their way back to each other. The first verse implies that the singer had been arguing with their partner and left the house, leaving them worried and uncertain about where they had been. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is aware of their flaws and how they contribute to the problems in their relationship, but is too stubborn to apologize, using writing as a way to express their remorse without vocalizing it.
The chorus of the song continues the theme of burning things down and rebuilding. The singer likens their arguments to starting "forest fires" that threaten to destroy their relationship, but at the end of the night, they are willing to put out the fire and come back to each other. The second verse describes the tension in the relationship, with both partners saying things they don't mean and using words as weapons. However, despite the hurtful exchanges, the singer is unwilling to give up on the relationship, believing that they can work through their problems and find their way back to each other.
Overall, "Come Home to Me" is a bittersweet love song that acknowledges the ups and downs of a partnership but holds onto the hope that they will be able to overcome the obstacles and come out stronger in the end.
