He’s going to his homeland in pursuit of comfort. He went through a tough time with a family breakup and this song is a statement of him looking for something familiar while everything is changing.
[Verse 1]
If I could find it in myself to call you
We probably wouldn't be here right now
Honestly, I just want to see you shine now
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's hard to fight it
When I can't make sense of what we mean
But we knew our hearts were dividing
I had to do this for me
[Chorus]
We got too damn close for comfort
So I'm heading back to London
[Verse 2]
I've been hanging around a bridge to try and get you out
People tend to talk a lot but I tend not to listen
If only we heal back, can we live last summer?
Been adjusting to the distance
I hate to admit it
But ever since I left I've been a mess of reminiscing
So take me back to last summer
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I know it's hard to fight it
When I can't make sense of what we mean
But we knew our hearts were dividing
I had to do this for me
[Chorus]
We got too damn close for comfort
So I'm heading back to London, oh
Cause I need time and you need space
I'll only find it on this plane
So I'm heading back to London
So I'm heading back to London
[Bridge]
I know you think about it sometimes
Late night, Philly drives, chasing fire
But we put it to the back of our minds
It's getting late and I want you tonight
Yeah, I want you tonight
[Chorus]
We got too damn close for comfort
So I'm heading back to London, oh
Cause I need time and you need space
I'll only find it on this place
So I'm heading back to London
So I'm heading back to London
So I'm heading back to London
So I'm heading back to London
So I'm heading back to London
So I'm heading back to London
