So Come On Home Lyrics

Cover art for So Come On Home lyrics by Franz Ferdinand

the lyrics seem to be wrong up there. they are actually:

Although my lover lives in a place that I can't live I kinda find I like a life this lonely It rips and pierces me in places I can't see I love the rip of nerves, the rip that wakes me

So I'm dissatisfied, I love dissatisfied I love to feel there's always more that I need

So come on home So come on home So come home...

You're where you want to be, I'm where I want to be Caught up chasing everything I've ever wanted I replace you easily, replace pathetically I flirt with any flighty thing that falls my way

But how I needed you, when I needed you Let's not forget we are so strong, so bloody strong

Come on home So come on home So come home...

Blue light falls upon your perfect skin Falls, and you draw back again Falls, and this is how I fell And I can not forget this And I can not forget this

Come on home So come on home But don't forget to leave

My interpretation of this song is that he has moved away from this girl he loves to "chase everything he's ever wanted" and likes the feeling of being dissatisfied because otherwise the time they spend together when she comes home is not deserved. the last line telling her not to forget to leave is because he enjoys being dissatisfied, and wants to earn her back by missing her. i think he likes to think he can replace her easily, but that the next line after this says "replace pathetically" suggests any replacement he might find is not as good as her, so he continues to ask her to "come on home"
