Coming Around Lyrics

Never see you coming around
They know they got their heads screwed on
I'm standing in the middle of town
I'm know I might never come home

Just standing where I am with all the
people passing by me
The sound of all these passers-by mixed in
with the bus and motor-car
I must be sure these are the signs
Cos I've been here a million times before

Just tell me when it's coming around,
coming around
I think I see you coming to town,
hunting you down, bringing you round

Tell me if I'm bringing you down
Cos I was fine till you came along
You tell me that the tears of a clown
That I'm confusing while abusing my mind

So far away I wanna be
That's not as close to you and me
The things they call our destiny
Now why do you have to pick on me at all?
My walls are coming down

Just tell me when it's coming around,
coming around
I think I see you coming to town,
hunting you down, coming around

Just tell me when it's coming around,
coming around
I think I see you coming to town,
dragging you down
Just tell me when it's coming around,
coming around
I think I see you coming to town
Just dragging you down
It's coming around

Why Does It Always Rain On Me?

Closer

Flowers In The Window

Writing to Reach You

Sing

Never see you coming around
They know they got their heads screwed on
I'm standing in the middle of town 
I'm know I might never come home

Just standing where I am with all the 
people passing by me
The sound of all these passers-by mixed in 
with the bus and motor-car
I must be sure these are the signs 
Cos I've been here a million times before

Just tell me when it's coming around,
coming around
I think I see you coming to town,
hunting you down, bringing you round

Tell me if I'm bringing you down
Cos I was fine till you came along
You tell me that the tears of a clown
That I'm confusing while abusing my mind

So far away I wanna be
That's not as close to you and me
The things they call our destiny
Now why do you have to pick on me at all?
My walls are coming down

Just tell me when it's coming around,
coming around
I think I see you coming to town,
hunting you down, coming around

Just tell me when it's coming around,
coming around
I think I see you coming to town,
dragging you down
Just tell me when it's coming around, 
coming around
I think I see you coming to town
Just dragging you down 
It's coming around

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.

I love Travis and this song is no acception. This song to me depicts the slow and painful breakdown of a relationship. This guy is standing in town, torn to pieces, watching but not appreciating the going-ons (sounds of the passersby, cars, etc.) He is crying the tears of a clown and abusing his mind. He wishes, like we all do, that pain like this came with a fore-warning, but, alas, that is rarely so; he laments, 'Just tell me when it's coming around'.

DEEP!!! :)
