BOOMERANG
Lucy Schwartz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waiting, waiting,
Heartbroken and frustrated
Hard to get around without your love

Feeling, feeling,
Tired of this endless reeling
Hard to get around without your love
I’m immune to the symptoms of romantic affliction
But I’m trying to see light

Every time you come around again
I only want to say goodbye
Every time you say you’re leaving again
I want you back just like my
Want you back just like my

Boom boom boomerang
Boom boom boomerang
Boom boom boomerang
Boom boom boomerang

I toss you, throw you
Still you come back now don’t you
Hard to get around without your love

I told you
It won’t do
So why do I have to hold you
Hard to get around, love

I’m immune to the symptoms of romantic affliction
But I’m trying to see light

Every time I come around again
I only want to say goodbye
Every time you say you’re leaving again
I want you back just like my
Want you back just like my

Boom boom boomerang
Boom boom boomerang
Boom boom boomerang
Boom boom boomerang
Boom boom boomerang
Boom boom boomerang
Boom boom boomerang
Boom boom boomerang

So I went to the doctor
Took a look at my heart
He said we can’t be together
But never to get too far apart
Never to get too far apart

(Tap dance solo)

Every time you come around again
I only want to say goodbye
Every time you say you’re leaving again
I want you back just like my
Want you back just like my

Boom boom boomerang
Boom boom boomerang
Boom boom boomerang
I want you back just like my
Boomerang
Boom boom boomerang
Boom boom boomerang
Boom boom boomerang





Mmmhmm and don’t come back!

Perfect song for the end of a weird, crazy, yet wonderful, season of one of the greatest shows ever created.

jdrc 123

Not the end but I guess you already know that by now

Drew B

Precisely !!!!! But the remixed version and season 5 were really well done. Certainly, not like the first 3 incredible seasons, but fun nonetheless.

Hayden Westerfield

Well said

Caraga and Mindanao Videos

When George Michael punched his dad on the face and then the screen went black and credits start rolling. The minute the song starts, I can really sense that the song totally fit the dynamic of the family's relationship. They hate each other but they can't live without each other. Also that Michael keeps returning to the family like a boomerang.

Nat Peterson

You seriously deserve more recognition for your talent

LaceeLasers

My jaw dropped when George Michael punched his father in the face like that. I know to some, it was a hilarious scene but I was CRUSHED. I binge watched the entire show on Netflix in a span of a week and seeing Michael and George Michael's relationship was amazing. They really seemed to care and love each other. Seeing that punch broke my heart. I'm nervous but excited for season 5.
