Please Come Home
The Busters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sitting on my balcony, got nothing to do
People are busy and so are you
While watching you i appreciate
How you clean your house and how you live your day

Please come home - cause i love you
Please come home - i never hurt you
The day you moved out i lost everything
Please come home - i'll keep waiting

When i discovered you, you beautiful flower
Oberserving you get dressed gave me a shudder
To tell you which colour i like on you most
Is my neverchanging dream but a white dead ghost
You're my colour tv and my big movie screen
My vip seat across your bedroom window
When you've gone out, i'll have a cup of tea
I know you will come back, will come back to me

Please come home - cause i love you
Please come home - i never hurt you
The day you moved out i lost everything
Please come home - i'll keeep waiting

Early in the morning i hurry to the window
Just to catch your face resting softly on your pillow
You wake up and wiggle to the bathroom
I wiggle too what a rocksteady groove

You're my colour tv and my big movie screen
My vip seat across your bedroom window
When you've gone out, i'll have a cup of tea
I know you will come back, you will come back to me

Please come home - cause i love you
Please come home - i never hurt you
The day you moved out i lost everything
Please come home - i'll keep waiting

Please come home
Please come home




Never talked to you - now i lost everything
Please come home - i'll keep waiting

Overall Meaning

The Busters's song "Please Come Home" is a heartfelt plea for the return of a loved one who has left. The vocalist is sitting on his balcony, watching the world go by, with nothing to do. He watches the person he loves go about their day and appreciates the small things they do, like cleaning their house. He longs for them to come back, to return to their shared home and their shared life, because he loves them and he never hurt them. He lost everything when they moved out, so he spends his days waiting and watching for their return.


The second verse is a little more personal, describing how he discovered the person he loves like a beautiful flower. He loves watching them get dressed, and has a never-changing dream of telling them which color looks best on them. They are his "color TV and big movie screen" and he has a VIP seat to their life from across the bedroom window. He wiggles to the bathroom with them in the morning, reveling in their "rocksteady groove." All these little moments that he loves about them are why he wants them to come home.


The chorus repeats the plea for them to come home, telling them that he loves them and never hurt them, and that he lost everything when they left. He never talked to them and now he has lost everything, but he will keep waiting for them to come home.


Overall, the song is a bittersweet plea for love and connection. The vocalist has lost the person he loves and wants them to come back, to return to the life they once shared. He watches and waits, hoping that they will come home to him.

You wake up and move towards the bathroom


I wiggle too what a rocksteady groove
I move too, in a consistent and rhythmic manner


Never talked to you - now i lost everything
I never spoke to you, and now I have lost everything
