Lyrics
I hold you in my hands
I cherish you, hold you close
A little animal
Metaphorical reference to the person as a small, vulnerable being
And only some dumb idiot
Expressing disdain for anyone foolish enough to let the person go
Would let you go
Highlighting the perceived importance of the person
But if I'm one thing
Stating a self-awareness about a defining characteristic
Then that's the one thing
Reiteration of self-awareness and certainty about that aspect
I should know
Reflecting on personal knowledge and understanding
Can anybody find their home
Pondering the ability to find a sense of belonging
Out of everyone
Raising a question about the capability of others to find their home
Can anybody find their home
Repetition of the question, emphasizing the theme of searching for home
I hold you in cupped hands
Reaffirming the act of holding and protecting the person
And shield you from a storm
Providing shelter and support in challenging times
Where only some dumb idiot
Reiteration of criticism for those who would abandon the person
Would let you go
Emphasizing the perceived folly of letting go
But if I'm one thing
Restating self-awareness and certainty about a defining trait
Then that's the one thing
Reaffirming the singularity of the known aspect
I should know
Reflection on personal understanding and self-awareness
Can anybody find their home
Posing a question about finding home, echoing earlier lines
Out of everyone
Repeating the question about others finding their home
Can anybody find their home
Reiteration of the theme of searching for a place of belonging
Lost in the sun
Adding a sense of being lost in the metaphorical 'sun'
Can anybody find their home
Repeating the question about finding home, now with urgency
Come on, come on, come on
Encouraging action or movement, possibly to find home
Can anybody find their home
Repetition of the question, intensifying the need to find home
Oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Expressing a sense of yearning or desperation
Can anybody find their home
Repeating the question with a plea for resolution
Out of everyone
Reiteration of the question about others finding home
Can anybody find their home
Repeating the theme of being lost in the metaphorical 'sun'
Lost in the sun
Repetition of the urgent question about finding home
Can anybody find their home
Encouraging action or movement, emphasizing the need to find home
Come on, come on, come on
Repetition of the urging to come on and find home
Can anybody find their home
Reiterating the question about finding home with a plea
Oooooh
Expressing emotion or longing with the vocalization 'Oooooh'
Can anybody find their home
Final repetition of the question, possibly with added emotion
