Please Come Home For Christmas
The Mistletones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′m watchin it fall
Lots of people around
Baby please come home
The church bells in town
All singing in song
Full of happy sound
They're singing deck the halls
But it′s not like Christmas at all
Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year
Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watchin them shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home
They're singing deck the halls
But it′s not like christmas at all
Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year
If there was a way
I′d hold back these tears
But it's Christmas Day
Baby please come home
Home
Home
Home
Please
Please
Please
Come home
Baby please
Come on home baby
Baby please come home
The lyrics of The Mistletones' "Please Come Home for Christmas" are heartbreaking as they express the longing of the singer for their loved one to come home during Christmas. The start of the song sets the scene with the snow falling down and the singer watching it fall, surrounded by lots of people. However, the snow and the people are not enough as the singer pleads for their loved one to come home with the haunting refrain, "Baby please come home." The church bells in town are ringing in celebration of Christmas, but the singer's heart is empty and missing the one they love.
The juxtaposition of the joyful sounds of Christmas with the singer's sadness is further highlighted as they mention the decorations and pretty lights on the tree. It is not like Christmas at all without their loved one. The singer remembers the fun they had last year with their loved one, and they long for them to come back. The song ends with the singer's desperate plea, "Baby please come home," repeated over and over again.
Overall, "Please Come Home for Christmas" is a melancholic song that highlights how Christmas can be a difficult time for those who are missing their loved ones. It is a reminder that the holidays can be a lonely time, and it is important to reach out to those who may be feeling alone or disconnected during this season.
