Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoa
Come back to me
Whoa
Come back to me

We say we're good as gone
But then we cross those lines we've drawn
Its like we're taking turns

Throwin' matches at a bridge that will not burn

So won't cha come back to me,
Come back to me, come back to me
Come back to me
You win
Come back to me, come back to me, come back to me
Come back to me
Again

whoa
Come back to me
whoa
Come back to me

Is this love or just a game
We hide the passion, crave the pain
And in the midst of slamming doors
I'm back in your arms wondering what we're fighting for

So won't cha come back to me,
Come back to me,
come back to me,
Come back to me,
You win
Come back to me,
come back to me,
come back to me,
Come back to me,
Again

whoa
Come back to me
whoa
Come back to me

Come back to me,

You win

Come back to me,

Come back to me,
You win

Come back to me,

Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,

You, yeah, you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jerrod Niemann's "Come Back to Me" describe a tumultuous relationship in which the two individuals involved are constantly conflicted. The singer acknowledges that they try to convince themselves that they're done with the relationship, but they repeatedly end up crossing the boundaries that they've set for themselves. They continue to argue and fight, but they also seem to have an overwhelming desire for one another. Despite their attempts to move on, they can't seem to stay away from each other and end up in each other's arms once again. The singer questions whether their love is genuine or simply a game, and they wonder why they keep fighting when they end up back in love with each other anyhow.

The repetition of the phrase "come back to me" throughout the song underscores the singer's desire for their partner's return. The use of the phrase "you win" at the end of each repetition has a sort of resigned quality to it, as if the singer knows that no matter how much they fight, their partner will always hold a certain power over them. However, despite the apparent imbalance in the relationship, the singer can't help but hope that their partner will return once again.
