Come On
The Films Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, baby, pick up the phone
Because I'm drunk and alone
I need someone to take me home
And I wish it was you

Well get me out of this place
'Cause I've got blood on my face
And I'm getting tired of tasting my shoe

Well, but how in the devil'd get into trouble?
I don't think I'll ever be sure
But there's one thing I'm sure of
Is there's no love like your love

So come on
Well, quit dragging me down and come on
I've waited around for you to come
And get me out of here

Well, it was a god-awful scene
At the bar down on King
In fact, this whole night's been troubling
To say the least

Phony friends, phony names
Exchanging numbers, playing games
Well, I guess I should do the same
But it's just not me

Well, but how in the devil'd get into trouble?
I don't think I'll ever be sure
But there's one thing I'm sure of
Is there's no love like your love

So come on
Well, quit dragging me down and come on
I've waited around for you to come
And get me out of here

Well, so come on
Well, stop thinking about it, come on




You know I'm working it out
And I don't think I can wait another year

Overall Meaning

The Lyrics "Come On" by The Films is a song about a man who is drunk and wants to go home. He pleads with a woman to pick up her phone and rescue him from his predicament. He has blood on his face and is tired of tasting his shoe. He is not sure how he got into this situation and is troubled by the phony friends and games being played around him. He believes that his love for the woman he is asking for help is real and he wants her to come and get him, so he can escape the bar that he is in.


The song speaks to the idea of the difficulty and pain that comes with being alone, especially when things go wrong. The singer's drunkenness demonstrates how sometimes we can be consumed by our vices and lead ourselves down a path of destruction. He yearns for companionship, and his plea to the woman is one of desperation. He wants to escape the world he finds himself in, and he believes that love is the only way to do so.


The song's lyrics touch upon a universal human desire for connection and love, and the struggles that come with trying to find it. It portrays the idea that love can be a solution to our problems, and that with someone we love by our side, we can overcome any challenge.
