Glad You Came Lyrics
And all that counts is here and now
My universe will never be the same I'm glad you came
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So lets go somewhere no one else can see you and me
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink, drink it if you can,
Can you spend a little time
Time is slipping away
Away from us so stay
Stay with me I can make make you glad you came
And all that counts is here and now
My universe will never be the same I'm glad you came
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So lets go somewhere no one else can see you and me
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink, drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time
Time is slipping away
Away from us so stay
Stay with me I can make, make you glad you came
And all that counts is here and now
My universe will never be the same I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
Oh so glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
I think "glad you came" is a double entendre. For those of you whose innocence is offended or who want to defend the boyband that is singing this song, The Wanted didn't write the song, so sorry...
I think it's pretty obvious there's a play on words going on here. The guy met some girl at a club and they had amazing, mind blowing sex that alters the guy's the universe. He may have only just met the girl, but she is so incredible and the sex is so mind blowing that he's "glad she came", in more ways than just one...
Glad You Came is about a person being glad that a certain person came and that they had a really good time together. Time is slipping away and they want to spend some more time together.
-- You guys are really pathetic to think that this song is about sex. If you really knew the band, The Wanted, you would know how uncharismatic that is.
@SongMeaningsUK You're really pathetic to think it's NOT, to think that sex is dirty. Sex is natural, it's life, it's how you and I came to be. Religions make people hate themselves. That's dirty. And that makes me do sick things, like rape and murder.

@SongMeaningsUK the verse that begins with "Turn the lights out now" is pretty much describing a sexual encounter. The other verses are more open to simply being about meeting a loved one, but that verse in particular seems to suggest that the undertone for the use of the word "came" is sexual.

Come on people. The first time I heard this on the radio it was so, so obvious.
"And I decided you look well on me, well on me" means she is wearing him meaning he is inside of her.
"Make you glad you came" the meaning is obvious.
After I heard the song I looked up the video and thought what a crock of crap. In the video they made it all innocent like some of you guys want to think but it is VERY clear that it is about SEX!
Interesting,the percussion sounds a wee bit like "Take Me Home",by Phil Collins.
Ahem,that shit get in ya head and never leave...

"Glad You Came" has much more emotionally-healthy lyrics than "We Are Young" by FUN (which slips in a tale about crazy abuse). A happy song. Upbeat. Definitely an international musical appeal in this song by The Wanted!
This is a really well-rounded song (lyrics; vocals; instrumentals....I can never think of a better word than the latter, and that word sux, unfortunately). Anyway, it's NOT about sex. Well, it could be, but I hope it isn't. I hope it's more special than a physical act. Overall (musically) it reminds me of FTP's song about the gun and Goyte's hit. It has that special quality....catchy, danceable (is that even a word and did I spell it correctly?) yet thought-provoking. She shines a light that he wishes to capture....by spending some time with her. It's quite beautiful. Darn, I talk too much...
@ThisLittlePiggy So, let's hope it's NOT about nature and life. Let's hope we're dirty and sick. Religions poison everything.

I don't agree with some of the interpretations. I don't think it's about sex. It's not that raunchy and superficial. It's about being happy to have someone in ones life. I love this song. When I am with a man I am dating and see him smile, this song comes into mind (also probably due to all the air play it's been getting). Some people just have incredible smiles and sexy voices...their company lights up the room. The universe will "never be the same" once you meet someone special...
@NooContact So it can't be both? Look inside and find out why you think raunchy is undesirable.

Personally, I don't think this song is about sex. The way I see it, it's about a boy (the singer) invited a girl to come somewhere with him and he is really happy that she decided to come because he got to know her better / that one day made him start falling for her. He wants to show her a good time and make her not regret coming. He or she might have to leave in the morning so their time is running short and he just wants to make the best of this night while they still have it before time forces them to separate, because it might be a long time before they see each other again.
This goes without saying really, "came" is being used in the sexual sense. Basically this song is about a guy who has picked a random girl up at a nightclub and he believes (dubiously so) that he is going to satisfy this girl sexually and so she will be "glad she came"
LOL...shock value:)

This song is definitely about sex. He is glad she came. There is no other possible interpretation of this song.
