Summer's end around the bend just flyin'
The swimming suits are on the line just dryin'
I'll meet you there per our conversation
I hope I didn't ruin your whole vacation
Well you never know how far from home you're feelin'
Until you've watched the shadows cross the ceilin'
Well, I don't know but I can see it snowin'
In your car, the windows are wide open
Just come on home
Come on home
No, you don't have to be alone
Just come on home
Valentines break hearts and minds at random
That ol' Easter egg ain't got a leg to stand on
Well I can see that you can't win for tryin'
And New Year's Eve is bound to leave you cryin'
Come on home
Come on home
No, you don't have to be alone
Just come on home
The moon and stars hang out in bars just talkin'
I still love that picture of us walking
Just like that ol' house we thought was haunted
Summer's end came faster than we wanted
Come on home
Come on home
No you don't have to be alone
Come on home
Come on home
No you don't have to be alone
Just come on home
The swimming suits are on the line just dryin'
I'll meet you there per our conversation
I hope I didn't ruin your whole vacation
Well you never know how far from home you're feelin'
Until you've watched the shadows cross the ceilin'
Well, I don't know but I can see it snowin'
In your car, the windows are wide open
Just come on home
Come on home
No, you don't have to be alone
Just come on home
Valentines break hearts and minds at random
That ol' Easter egg ain't got a leg to stand on
Well I can see that you can't win for tryin'
And New Year's Eve is bound to leave you cryin'
Come on home
Come on home
No, you don't have to be alone
Just come on home
The moon and stars hang out in bars just talkin'
I still love that picture of us walking
Just like that ol' house we thought was haunted
Summer's end came faster than we wanted
Come on home
Come on home
No you don't have to be alone
Come on home
Come on home
No you don't have to be alone
Just come on home

What an evocative song, one that says so much without explaining anything. It just goes for the heart of what's happening.
Sounds like it's to someone who is having great difficulty, struggling, perhaps contemplating suicide. The singer is trying to find reassuring words to say/sing, and is coming from a place of love. The song captures the sadness and poignancy of that moment.
I most enjoy the live Tiny Desk show that includes a performance of this song.
