Lyrics
Caught in the dead of the night with faces that I used to know
Reflecting on past connections encountered during the night.
They're speaking to me, trying to pull me in out of the cold
Feeling the influence of past associations trying to draw the speaker back.
No sign of light in the day and no hand around I can hold
A sense of darkness and loneliness, with no support or comfort.
I long for the places my memory wants me to go
Nostalgia for places from the speaker's memories.
Sing me a song for the road and save the last line for me
Request for a comforting song, reserving the last line for the speaker.
'Cause I'm only half of the man that you want me to be
Acknowledging personal shortcomings and the desire to meet expectations.
It looks like I've got to go, feels like the final scene
Sensing the inevitability of departure, resembling a final moment.
And everything's falling down faster than I thought it would
Things are crumbling unexpectedly faster than anticipated.
I hear your voice once more echo outside my door
Hearing a familiar voice outside, potentially a reminder of the past.
You know I'd change all this around now if only I could
Expressing a wish to alter circumstances if possible.
But I've got to go home
Stating the necessity to return home.
I used to play all the games, I'd see it out win or lose
Recalling a time of playing games, possibly symbolic of navigating life's challenges.
But no one's your friend when you walk in another man's shoes
Highlighting the lack of true friendship when facing difficulties.
Running around out my head, keeping the pain inside
Feeling overwhelmed and trying to internalize pain.
You found me out and you showed me i don't need to hide
Acknowledging someone who revealed the speaker's true self.
It looks like I've got to go, feels like the final scene
Reiterating the sense of imminent departure and collapse.
And everything's falling down faster than I thought it would
Unexpected challenges intensifying beyond expectations.
I hear your voice once more echo outside my door
Hearing a familiar voice again, possibly representing a connection or relationship.
You know I'd change all this around now if only I could
Expressing a desire to change the current situation if possible.
But I've got to go home, home
Reiterating the inevitability of returning home.
Got to go home, home
Repeating the urgency to go home.
It looks like I've got to go, it feels like the final scene
Reaffirming the sense of a conclusive moment and rapid decline.
And everything's falling down faster than I thought it would
Acknowledging the unexpected and swift deterioration of circumstances.
I hear your voice once more echo outside my door
Hearing the familiar voice once more, reinforcing a connection from the past.
You know I'd change all this around now if only I could
Expressing a desire to change the current circumstances if possible.
But I've got to go home, I gotta go home
Reiterating the necessity to go home.
Got to go home, but I've got to go home
Emphasizing the urgency of returning home despite challenges.
