Cover art for Come on Home lyrics by Franz Ferdinand

He doesn't know how to be happy. He wouldn't know how to react if everything in his life was perfect--if the perfect girl loved him as much as he loved her, he wouldn't know what to do.

Every once in a while, when he thinks that he's lost her completely, he'll want--need--her back. He'll admit, again, that he's in love with her. However, when she does come back, he doesn't know what to do and pushes her away again.

He's happier being unhappy.

At least, that's my take on this song.

i wish i could express how FUCKING ridiculous it is that you say that..that's my exact interpretation of the song and also my exact situation. sigh. :/

I'd been listening to this song for a long time, but never really thought about what its meaning might be until I realized that this is also my situation. This song means so much more to me now and I'm not even entirely sure that this is the intended meaning.
