Come Home
Yearning for Home: A Heartfelt Plea to the Cosmos
Lyrics
If there's a God somewhere out there
Expressing a belief in the existence of a higher power
I'm beggin' her to bring you home
Pleading for the return of someone
Cuz I know you're somewhere out there
Acknowledging the person's presence elsewhere
I'm waitin' on my own
Waiting alone for their return
Oh oh! Wo ah oh woh oh oh, come home
Repetition urging the person to come home
Wo ah oh woh oh
Repetition emphasizing the plea
Oh oh! Wo ah oh woh oh oh, come home
Continued urging for the person to come back
Wo ah oh woh oh
Reiteration of the plea
I got two hands and knees for prayin'
Willingness to pray earnestly
You'll run out of places to roam
Suggesting there's limited places the person might be
No rosaries say what I need sayin'
Expressing dissatisfaction with traditional prayers
No "Hail Marys" have brought you home
No religious rituals have been effective in bringing the person back
Oh oh! Wo ah oh woh oh oh, come home
Repeated plea for the person to return
Oh wo ah oh woh oh
Repetition emphasizing the plea
Oh oh! Wo ah oh woh oh oh, come home
Continued urging for the person to come back
Wo ah oh woh oh
Reiteration of the plea
Come home
Directly calling for the person to come home
Come home
Repetition emphasizing the plea
They say that outer space is empty
Comparing outer space to the emptiness felt due to the person's absence
Like the life you left behind
Describing the life left behind by the person
If you need time, well I've got plenty
Expressing readiness to wait but hinting at a desire for the person's return
And adventure on my... I got adventure on my mind
Feeling adventurous but yearning for the person
Oh oh! Wo ah oh woh oh oh, come home
Repeated plea for the person to return
Oh wo ah oh woh oh oh
Repetition emphasizing the plea
Oh oh! Wo ah oh woh oh oh, come home
Continued urging for the person to come back
Wo ah oh woh oh
Reiteration of the plea
Come home
Directly calling for the person to come home
Come home
Repetition emphasizing the plea
Come home
Final plea for the person to return
