The song "Back For Me" by Electric Guest tells the story of a person watching someone they care about drive away, leaving for Los Angeles. The narrator hoped that L.A. would become a second home for this person, but they are aware that they have limited control over the situation. The lyrics express the longing and hope for their return, wondering if that person will come back for them. There is a distance between them, both physically and emotionally, but the narrator still feels a connection despite being miles apart. They acknowledge that there are many different paths they can take in life, but none of those paths will fulfill them until the person they care about comes back. The repetition of the phrase "Coming back for me, hope you're coming back for me" emphasizes the desire for their return and the need for reassurance. The narrator is always wanting the person to be with them, struggling to find a reason for their absence, and only wanting to hear that they will come back. However, the reality is that for now, the narrator is on their own, waiting until the day the person they care about calls them home. It portrays a sense of longing, uncertainty, and anticipation for their return.
