Come On

"Come On"
Song by Grey Daze
Recorded	October 06, 1994
Writer	Chester Bennington, Sean Dowdell

"Come On" was a song created during the sessions that led to the recording of Grey Daze's first studio album, Wake Me.

Background

Jonathan Krause came up with the musical idea for "Come On", describing it as a "mostly bass driven song". It was written with the band's first guitarist Steve Mitchell.

On October 6, 1994, the very first day of working on Wake Me, the album's producer David Knauer recorded Grey Daze playing live in his studio to see what they had in store for their debut album. He recorded their performance straight to DAT tape and had Chester say the name of every song so it was documented on tape as well. "Come On" was among the songs that didn't make the album.

Lyrics

Album Version

Get up! Down!   Where have I begun? Who am I? I chose to wait alone with crazy eyes Some tears I will not cry 'cause they won't wash away Wish I could feel alive Wish I could feel deprived Come on, I've called you Don't pass me by, I feel too cool Come on, I've called you Come here Yeah! Some tears I will not cry 'cause they won't wash away Wish I could feel less pain As the sky, yeah Come on, I've called you You're too high for me, and it's all true Come on, I've called you Come here COME ON Come on [x16] Yeah
