Fill My World Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And when the silence comes
It breaks my heart
When I'm lonely
I always fall apart
And when I'm left behind
I climb the walls
Never knowing
If you really cared at all

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you get to where you're going
To the place you're meant to be
Still I'm holding out that you'll return to me
Somewhere
Somewhere beyond

[Chorus]
Turn the key
Please come back to me
What I'd give to know you'll fill my world again

[Verse 2]
Thе wind is screaming out
I pace the floor
And I wondеr, will I see your face once more?
[Pre-Chorus]
You were always here to save me
Like a sentinel in the dark
As the thunder keeps on rolling through my heart
But still, some way
I keep holding on

[Chorus]
Turn the key
Please come back to me
For how long will you be gone?
I'm barely breathing
Because all I know
Is that I miss you so
What I'd give to know you'll fill my world again

[Bridge]
Say it won't be long
It won't be long
Say it won't be long
It won't be long
Till you'll come home

[Guitar Break]

[Chorus]
Turn the key
Please come back to me
For how long will you be gone?
I'm barely breathing
Because all I know
Is that I miss you so
What I'd give to know you'll fill my world again
[Outro]
Say it won't be long
It won't be long
Say it won't be long
It won't be long
Please come home
Oh
Please come home

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Myles Kennedy stated that the song was about his dog in an interview with Blabbermouth.

It was inspired by my dog Mozart. He’s a Shih Tzu. He’s a little brat, but he’s essentially our kid , my wife and I. And we were… I don’t know where we were, but we couldn’t get home one night. So we had those little camera things. And we were supposed to get home — or maybe she was supposed to get home, and something happened. So he was stuck in the house by himself. And there was a massive storm; we get these crazy storms where I live in Spokane now, where trees fall down. The wind’s just gotten nuts. And he hates it; he freaks out. So we kept watching him throughout the night, And he was just panicking; he was freaking out — he was freaking terrified. And so the song is basically written from his perspective, like, ‘When are you coming home to save me?’ And I’ll be honest — when I was tracking it, you can kind of hear my voice break a little bit at one point.
