Come Back To Me Lyrics
You say you got to go and find yourself
You say that you’re becoming someone else
Don’t recognize the face in the mirror looking back at you
You say you’re leaving as you look away
I know there’s really nothing left to say
Just know I’m here whenever you need me
I will wait for you
So I let you go
I set you free
And when you’ve seen what you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me
Take your time
I won’t go anywhere
I picture you with the wind in your hair
I’ll keep your things right where you left them
I’ll be here for you
I’ll let you go
I’ll set your free
And when you’ve seen what you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me
I hope you find everything that you need
I’ll be right here waiting to see
You find you
Come back to me
I can’t get close if you’re not there
I can’t get inside if there’s no soul there
I can’t face you
I can’t save you
It’s something you have to do
So I’ll let you go
I’ll set you free
And when you’ve seen what you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me
Come back to me
You say that you’re becoming someone else
Don’t recognize the face in the mirror looking back at you
I know there’s really nothing left to say
Just know I’m here whenever you need me
I will wait for you
I set you free
And when you’ve seen what you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me
I won’t go anywhere
I picture you with the wind in your hair
I’ll keep your things right where you left them
I’ll be here for you
I’ll set your free
And when you’ve seen what you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me
I’ll be right here waiting to see
You find you
Come back to me
I can’t get inside if there’s no soul there
I can’t face you
I can’t save you
It’s something you have to do
I’ll set you free
And when you’ve seen what you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me
Come back to me

I have had this song on repeat for the last week. My best friend and I aren't talking, due to her smoking WAY too much pot, and this song is comforting. It's exactly how I feel about the whole thing. When you figure out what's going on in your life, then get back to me.
Gotta love the Cookiemonster!
maybe you should understand your friend, instead of being so quick to jump out of her life. just cause your friend smokes pot doesn't mean shes forcing you to do anything and if she is, you have a voice and can always say No. if anything you should be there for her to keep an example Seek to understand before you are to quick to judge

Xmandyyyy, this makes me think of my stoner ex-boyfriend too & i dont think Karma Chameleon is judging or anything. It's pure concern for the other person.

Plus im sure her friend is in a mess of troubles like my ex boyfriend is. I'm sure its not about just a little pot. a little pot doesnt hurt anyone. but if you start throwiung your life away for it, than its concerning.

Its based off an old saying. my mom says it to me all the time... "When you love someone, let them go. If they return, than they're yours to keep. If not, they were never really yours to have." simple and easy :)
i love david cook. i was a big supporter of him on american idol. this is my favorite song on his cd!
Though David didn't actually write the lyrics to this song, he interprets them in his own personal, unique way each time he sings them. He takes the message and makes the listener believe that he represents the words.
"Come Back to Me" is obviously about a separation...though for how long, it's not certain. One person in the relationship has lost their sense of identity, so they leave, and in these lyrics, their partner is stating their desire and almost desperate need to see them again...
I think this song means: ok, i need to find myself and i'll be gone until i find me. and david is waiting for her until she is back with her regular self. David sets her free and waits and waits. He also mentions he can't do anything unless she's there.
My mom and I have come to the conclusion that this song was written for the sole purpose of David losing his brother. The song lyrics, "When you find you, Come back to me" can be interpreted as, "I'll be here waiting when you get better" I think David desperatley hoped his brother would get better and he is remembering all the good times they had but he knows he isn't coming back.
I think that may be gripping at straws. The songs that make reference to his brotheh (topic wise) are permanent and AC. This song is about letting someone go (romantically) and then hopinh they'll realize what they've had all along.

I think this song is all about a couple that is in love, but one of them feels like they need to explore other options. They just aren't ready for a serious relationship.
Have been playing this song almost nonstop over the last couple of weeks. It is what I hope I can find in love someday. Someone willing to step back and recognize that sometimes you have to let the one you love work through things on their own, but support and love them through their journey.
Question though: I can't get close if you�re not there I can't get inside if there's no soul there I can't face you (this sounds to me, and makes more sense as: I can't fix you) I can't save you It's something you have to do
Anyone else?
You are right, that is the correct words, not whats posted.

lsmalplz, I got the lyrics to this and all of the other songs from this album off of davidcookofficial.com back in November when the album first came out. Someone has pointed out to me that they have since removed the official lyrics from the site, but I got them back in November so I feel fairly certain that they are correct. DCO had that part as
I can't get close if you're not there I can't get inside if there's no soul to bare I can't fix you I can't save you It's something you have to do
Some may argue with these or hear it differently but this is how they first appeared on his official site. And I've seen him in concert three times and this is how I've heard the song every time.
This song plays every time I'm at work. Always does. And I can't help but get upset, cause I feel like this sometimes. I want to leave my boyfriend, and every time we get on that rocky conversation, he always says, "You can go look for yourself. I'll wait right here." It kills me. I love the song, just hate the current situation.
