Come On Come On
by Mary Chapin Carpenter


Some people remember the first time
Some can't forget the last
Some just select what they want to from the past
It's a song that you danced to in high school
It's a moon you tried to bring down
On a four in the morning drive through the streets of town
    Come on come on (It's getting late now)
    Come on come on (Take my hand)
    Come on come on (You just have to whisper)
    Come on come on (I will understand)
It's a photograph taken in Paris
At the end of the honeymoon
In 1948 late in the month of June
Your parents smile for the camera
In sienna shades of light
Now you're older than they were then that summer night
    Come on come on (It's getting late now)
    Come on come on (Take my hand)
    Come on come on (You just have to whisper)
    Come on come on (I will understand)

      It's a need you never get used to
      So fierce and so confused
      It's a loss you never get over
      The first time you lose
And tonight I am thinking of someone
Seventeen years ago
We rode in his daddy's car down the river road
    Come on come on (It's getting late now)
    Come on come on (Take my hand)
    Come on come on (You just have to whisper)
    Come on come on (I will understand)

    Come on come on (It's getting late now)
    Come on come on (Take my hand)
    Come on come on (You just have to whisper)
    Come on come on (I will understand)

I keep wanting to analyze this song, but also not wanting to analyze it. It's like the joke that isn't good if you have to explain it.
