Taylor Swift – Come Back... Be Here lyrics
You said it in a simple way,
4 am, the second day,
How strange that I don't know you at all.
Stumbled through the long goodbye,
One last kiss, then catch your flight,
Right when I was just about to fall

I told myself don't get attached,
But in my mind I play it back,
Spinning faster than the plane that took you...

And this is when the feeling sinks in,
I don't wanna miss you like this,
Come back... Be here, come back... Be here.
I guess you're in New York today,
I don't wanna need you this way,
Come back... Be here, come back... Be here.

The delicate beginning rush,
The feeling you can know so much,
Without knowing anything at all.
And now that I can put this down,
If I had known what I'd known now,
I never would have played so nonchalant.

Taxi cabs and busy streets,
That never bring you back to me,
I can't help but wish you took me with you...

And this is when the feeling sinks in,
I don't wanna miss you like this,
Come back... Be here, come back... Be here.
I guess you're in London today,
I don't wanna need you this way,
Come back... Be here, come back... Be here.

This is falling in love in the cruelest way,
This is falling for you and you are worlds away.

New York... Be here.
But you're in London and I break down,
'Cause it's not fair that you're not around.

This is when the feeling sinks in,
I don't wanna miss you like this,
Come back... Be here, come back... Be here.
I guess you're in New York today,
And I don't wanna need you this way,
Come back... Be here, come back... Be here.

I don't wanna miss you like this.
Come back... Be here.
Come back... Be here.

    This song is generally about this guy. It is not necessarily about harry styles because the album came out before they even started dating! For all you idiots (no offence) thinking it's about harry styles need to think logically because this album came out after they had even started dating. Thanks for reading X. I think nearly everyone got a little bit misunderstood. Just because it says 'new york. Be here. But you're in london and I break down, ' doesn't mean it is about a british guy. It could be any famous guy touring! Thank you, love you swifties!

    "Come Back Be Here" is about Jake Gyllenhaal. He was filming a movie in both London and New York when they were dating. It was about their long distance relationship and falling in love. At the time Taylor did not live in NYC. It is one of my favorite songs off "Red".

    For people who don't even bother to read release dates, this was off the "Red" album which was finished long before Taylor and Harry started dating. The song was probably written during the relationship of Taylor and Jake since the song is in present tense, and it indicates they are together, but separated by distance.
