Coming Around Again Lyrics

Baby sneezes
Mummy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
But so bewildering

(chorus)
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
there's more room in a broken heart

You pay the grocer
Fix the toasted
Kiss the host Good-bye
Then you break a window
burn the Soufflé
Scream the lullaby

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
there's more room in a broken heart

And I believe in love
But what else can I do
I'm so in love with you

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
(repeat and fade)

Cover art for Coming Around Again lyrics by Carly Simon

A mother's love and guilt, for herself and her child. She's hanging on in there for the sake of her family while losing herself, trying to be the wife, career woman and mother. It will all be ok because any other option just won't be. And who is she in love with? "I'm so in love with you"... her child!! Heartbreaking, life affirming song. Everything comes at a price, what's yours?

My Interpretation

A very emotional song....... rocky relationship / separation / children with a broken home ...

Cover art for Coming Around Again lyrics by Carly Simon

The unavoidable way a relationship changes in falling in love, getting married, having kids etc...

My Interpretation
Cover art for Coming Around Again lyrics by Carly Simon

It starts out happy, hopeful, sweet... Children come, you feel blessed, blissful, and the change feels good... But as time passes, other things change, he's home less and less... Not sure why it's different now... Then you learn why, and it breaks your heart.

You return home, but not happy, not sweet, only hopeful... But it's not the same... And soon you realize it will never be the same, what it once was... And your heart breaks a little more...

So in love, so in love, but you have to leave to save yourself... And try to retain the hope... That love will be there for you again, somewhere, some day...
