Notes: "When we scrapped "I'm Through" and used it for parts we also transposed it down to G so the verse we were using in its new incarnation, a song called "C'mon," would be less excruciatingly high for Ryan to sing. But then we went and wrote a chorus with an A in it, the same problem note from the old verse. [...]

So with a solid vocal in place we built the song up to the sunny west coast driving tune we'd always hoped it would be, the song it promised to be before I'm Through's chorus took it on a mellow modulated twist that we came to regret and love at the same time. At this point "C'mon" has now officially blown "I'm Through" out of the water. Joe's B3 overdub really infused the song with energy, and Wonderboy Engineer Eddie Jackson blasted it out of the big speakers, transforming the studio into a dance party while Joe hunkered over the organ like Beethoven"
Album Version Demo Version
I look out of my bedroom window pane
Every day, but the view just stays the same
I was young I would run straight from this place
Come back home and then start it all again

I know just what I want, I know just what I need
It's a big old house and it's coming back to haunt me
We'll be alright, we'll be easy
Dont look back, dont look back
Just c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Look around at the people in this place
I'm afraid that we'll end up the same way
So let's rise, dye our hair, and change our names
Make a wish and just blow it all away

I know just what I want, I know just what I need
It's a big old house and its coming back to haunt me
We'll be alright, we'll be easy
Dont look back, dont look back
Just c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

We'll be alright, we'll be easy
Dont look back, dont look back
Just c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Cause you know what you want
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
I looked out of my bedroom window pane
Every day, but the view just stayed the same
When I was young I would run straight from this place
Come back home and then start it all again

I know just what I want, I know just what I need
But if I don't leave now it's forever going to haunt me
We'll be alright, we'll be easy
Dont look back, dont look back
Just c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Look around at the faces in this place
I'm afraid that we'll end up the same way
So let's rise, change our clothes, and change our names
Make a wish and just blow it all away

I know just what I want, I know just what I need
But if I don't leave now it's forever going to haunt me
We'll be alright, we'll be easy
Dont look back, dont look back
Just c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

We'll be alright, we'll be easy
Dont look back, dont look back
Just c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Cause you know what you want
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
