Come Back
The In-Crowd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't even know you anymore
But I think you know
What you mean to me

Things will never be the way
They were before
I guess you can't count on anything
And your brand new friends
They won't care about you
When the party ends
They'll leave you in the dark
Saying oh tell me where you're hidin'
I think it's time to come back home

You taught me everything I know
About poetry
I still pretend I know what it means

Remember picking out who we wanna be
Back when we didn't know anything

And your brand new friends
They won't care about you
When the party ends
They'll leave you in the dark
Saying oh tell me where you're hidin'
I think it's time to come back home

Every night since you've been gone
I still leave the light on
I know it's wrong, to wait so long

You say you're getting on just fine
But you still stutter when you lie
I know you better
Tell me would you come back home

And your brand new friends
They won't care about you
When the party ends
They'll leave you in the dark
Saying oh tell me where you're hidin'
I think it's time to come back home




Come back home
I think it's time you come back home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The In-Crowd's song "Come Back" paint a picture of a friendship that has changed over time. The singer doesn't know the other person as well as they used to, but they still believe that the other person understands the importance of their relationship. The first stanza sets the tone by acknowledging the distance between them, yet implies that the other person thinks about them too. The second stanza reminisces about the past when they were young and figuring out what they wanted to be. These memories make the singer feel sentimental and want the other person to come back home.


The chorus is the most impactful part of the song. It warns the other person about their new friends who are temporary and won't stick around once the party is over. This line captures the essence of the song's message - people will come and go, but true friends will always be waiting for you. The final stanza expresses the singer's feelings of sadness and loneliness since the other person left. They still leave the light on every night, hoping that their friend will return. The other person denies their struggles, but the singer knows them better than anyone else. They hope that the friend will come back home.


Overall, The In-Crowd's "Come Back" is a touching song that captures the essence of true friendship. The lyrics show us that no matter how much time passes, true friends will always be waiting for you. It reminds us that relationships require effort, and sometimes it's worth it to fight for them.
