Pop Song 383 of 500 'Comedown' Bush 1995
Gavin Rossdale wrote the song about an ex-girlfriend, stating, "It was written in the context of half regret, half celebration and just being objective about the situation of coming down from that high and dealing with those intense emotions." In 2017 he added:
I liked the idea of euphoria. But having that euphoria has a comedown. It's inside your brain and just says, 'I'm having the greatest time, and I don't want to stop.' But most of the time, people lose that zone and it changes and you're like, 'No, I didn't want this.' And that's such a common feeling. I watched it being sung every night - it's one of the songs where I can step back and let the people sing. It's the best feeling in the world as a songwriter.
Drummer Robin Goodridge told music publication Modern Drummer that the bass line and drum grooves in "Comedown" were borrowed from a song by English band Massive Attack.
Of the 12 songs featured on Sixteen Stone, "Comedown" was the first to be written, and remains unchanged lyrically from its original form.
Love and hate get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day let it fade
Who was there to take your place
No one knows never will
Mostly me but mostly you
What do you say do you do
When it all comes down
'Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need yeah
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
Taken me all this (all this) time
There's no blame only shame
When you beg you just complain
The more I come the more I try
All police are paranoid
So am I so's the future
So are you be a creature
What do you say do you do when it all comes down
'Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need (yea, yea, yea)
I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this (all this) time
Shoot up
Shoot up
Shoot up
You're high
Love and hate get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day, let it fade
Who was there to take your place
No one knows never will
Mostly me but mostly you
What do you say do you do when it all comes down
'Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need (yea, yea, yea)
I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this (all this) time
Why did you, why did you, why did you
Why did you, why did you, why did you
Why did you, why did you, why did you
Come down
I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
This cloud
