Home By Now
Journey of Longing: Finding Home in Melodies
Lyrics
If you wanna ride, you can come out and see me
If you want to join me on a journey, feel free to do so
I could be home by now
I might have already reached home
If you wanna ride, you can come out and see me
Reiteration: If you want to ride with me, you're welcome
I could be home by now
Reiteration: I could be home by now
When the whistle blows
Describing a moment when a signal blows and a train starts moving slowly
And we pull out slow
Continuation of the train imagery, possibly symbolizing life's journey
This is where I build my home
Expressing a place where the singer feels at home
And I wait for you so patiently
Waiting patiently for someone, possibly a loved one
Letting you find your own
Allowing someone to find their own path
If you wanna try, you can come out and see me
Inviting someone to try something new
I could be home by now
Reiteration: I could be home by now
But anywhere I am, tell me you're waiting for me
Assuring that the singer is waiting wherever they are
I could be home by now
Reiteration: I could be home by now
If you wanna try, you can come out and see me
Repetition of the invitation to try something
I could be home by now
Reiteration: I could be home by now
If you wanna try, you can come out and see me
Repetition of the invitation to try something
I could be home by now
Reiteration: I could be home by now
When I am old, let the tension flee
Reflecting on aging and the release of tension
I was born crying out and it's come back to me
Recalling a birth experience with crying and its impact on the present
When everyone else is setting up to fall
Anticipating challenges while others prepare to fail
I'll just think back on it all
Planning to reminisce about life when facing difficulties
I'll remember long drives, sitting in the back
Recollection of memorable car rides and snowy scenes
Looking out and endless snow,
Observing endless snow, suggesting a vast and timeless experience
Waiting in the silence, if you won't spill your heart,
Waiting in silence for someone to open up emotionally
I'll chase you for the words you owe
Pursuing someone for the emotional connection and honesty
And you and you know and they're begging "come home"
Repetition of the plea for someone to come home
And you and you know and they're begging "come home"
-And you and you know and they're begging "come home"
-And you and you know and they're begging "come home"
-(If you wanna ride, I could be home by now)
Reiteration of the invitation to join a journey
And you and you know and they're begging "come home"
Repetition of the plea for someone to come home
(If you wanna ride, I could be home by now)
-And you and you know and they're begging "come home"
-(If you wanna ride, you can come out and see me
Repetition of the invitation to try something new
I could be home by now)
Repetition of the plea for someone to come home
And you and you know and they're begging "come home"
-(If you wanna ride, you can come out and see me
-I could be home by now)
Reiteration: I could be home by now
And you and you know and they're begging "come home"
Final plea for someone to come home
