Soon Come

The speaker keeps trying to reach someone they care about, but each time they hear that the person will arrive “soon.” The repeated delay causes frustration: the speaker does not want to wait around or feel disregarded. At the same time, they admit to having feelings for this person, so their irritation is mixed with emotional attachment.

“Soon come” is the central phrase. It suggests that someone will arrive shortly, but because the promise is repeated without a clear arrival, it begins to sound like an excuse or an empty reassurance. “Hanging around” means waiting without doing much, while “pushed around” can mean being treated unfairly or having one’s time and feelings ignored. The calls to the person’s home and phone emphasize how persistent the speaker’s attempts are.

The lyrics leave some details uncertain. We do not know whether the person is deliberately avoiding the speaker, is genuinely delayed, or is simply unreliable. The speaker’s complaint is clear, but so is their affection: they dislike the waiting, yet still care enough to keep calling. This makes the song’s mood both impatient and vulnerable.
