Coming Around Again
Simon Webbe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the sunlight's creeping in
Now the ice is slowly melting
In my soul and in my skin
All the good times my friend
Are coming around again
Oh yeah
Of better nights and better days
Hiding in a refuge
Of memories I've made
I got a feeling within
It's coming around again
[Chorus]
(It's coming around again)
We been so long waiting
For the all time high
We got a damn good reason
To put your troubles aside
And all your winter sorrows hang 'em out to dry
Throw it away
Gotta throw it away
All the colorful days my friend
Are coming around again
That's right
Yeah yeah mmm
I got someone waiting for me
It's been so long since we met
And I may not be your salvation but I'll offer nonetheless
And if like me you wanna take that chance
It's coming around again
Ooh yeah
[Chorus]
Yeah yeah mmm
I can feel a change of fortune
No more riding on my love
Feel the weight is off my shoulders
As my feet become unstuck
And all the good times on which we do depend
Oh it's coming around again
[Chorus]

I been sitting in the darkness
I have been feeling down and depressed

For the all time high
For a really great moment or experience
We got a damn good reason
We have a very valid excuse
To put your troubles aside
To forget about our problems for a while
And all your winter sorrows hang 'em out to dry
To let go of our sadness and heaviness
Throw it away
Get rid of these negative emotions
Gotta throw it away

And if like me you wanna take that chance
If you want to take the risk with me
It's coming around again
We can find happiness again
[Chorus]
Repeating the idea of good times returning
I can feel a change of fortune
I sense that my luck is about to improve
No more riding on my love
I won't let others take advantage of my kind heart
Feel the weight is off my shoulders
I feel a sense of relief
As my feet become unstuck
I don't feel weighed down anymore
And all the good times on which we do depend
The happy times that we rely on
Oh it's coming around again
Those joyful moments will return
[Chorus]
Repeating the idea of good times returning
