Coming Home
The Baseballs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Com coming home, com coming, com coming home
I hear "The Tears of a Clown"
I hate that song
feel like they talking to me when it comes on
another day another Dawn
what am I suposed to do when the curtain falls
its easy to go out, and playing rock ‘n’ roll
what if my mama ask me why I aint marry Lou
how do I respond? Tell me what I do
what if a kid stares with a face like my own
and says he wants to be like me when he's grown
another day another Dawn
I need to get back to the place I belong
I'm coming home,
coming home
tell the World I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, coming home
tell the World that I'm coming
"Ain't No Stopping Us Now", we love that song
whenever it comes on it makes us feel strong
We thought I told y'all that we won't stop
we back cruising through city’s ,we are about to rock
it's what made us, saved us, drove us nuts
drove us away than embraced us
forgave us for all of us shortcomings
homecoming, it's been a long time coming
lot of fights, lot of scars, lot of bottles, ups, downs
lot of cars,
made it back, lost no fans
and here we standing reunited , a better band! (thank you all!!)
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
tell the World I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
tell the World that I'm coming
I'm coming home, Com coming home, com coming, com coming home,
Com coming home, com coming, com coming home.
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
tell the World I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
tell the World that I'm coming
I'm coming home, Com coming home, com coming, com coming home,
Com coming home, com coming, com coming home.
The Baseballs’ song Coming Home is a tale of redemption and a desire to return to one’s roots. The lyrics start with the singer listening to a song that he hates, as it reminds him of a situation he is not happy with. He then contemplates the meaning of being a musician and the expectations people may have of him, including a potential mother-in-law. The singer wonders if he can be a positive influence on someone else’s life while figuring out his own.
The second verse speaks of a song that empowers them, and the realization that despite all the ups and downs, they made it back to where they started. The chorus echoes the sentiment of coming home and washing away mistakes and pain of the past. The repetition of “com coming home” is a clever play on words, as to “come” can mean to arrive, but in this context, it is also a homophone for “calm,” suggesting that coming home can help bring inner peace.
The song's message is about returning to what is familiar and seeking forgiveness for past wrongs. The chorus is particularly impactful, as it reminds the listener that their kingdom awaits them, and they have been forgiven.
