Coming Home Lyrics

Jump on the train
Bunk the fare
Escape from suburbia
Lots of weird and wonderful people
Going somewhere
Coming home

Could anyone know?
Know me better
Than you my love
As you watch me change
Though I don’t know
If you’re playing real
Now love has found a home inside of me
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Back to you
- - -
I DON’T KNOW WHO I USED TO BE,
BUT, EVERY DAY, I’M FEELING MORE LIKE ME
I’VE BEEN GONE TOO LONG,
I’M COMING HOME.
(x2)
- - -
If I play it out:
Will the world change?
Will my world shape my destiny?

I’m coming home, I’m coming home, back to you.
(x2)

I don’t know who I used to be,
But, every day, I’m feeling more like me
I’ve been gone too long,
I’m coming home.
(x2)

I’m coming home (as you watch me change)
I’m coming home, back to you.
I’m coming home (as you watch me change)
I’m coming home, back to you.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

THANK YOU BOY GEORGE for such an self-empowering track. The lyrics tell a story of someone who has come back to life. The music is a hypnotic tonic. Everything is brought together with your distinctive voice, a Leitmotif, we're none of us, ever going to forget. The video adds that little cheeky twist, something to inspire anyone who is DIFFERENT to see it as a special GIFT, rather than a weak point, in the face of our critics. /// Love it/// YES YES YES
