Lyrics
Keep your arms open wide love,
Encouragement to remain open and welcoming.
'Cause I'm coming home,
Expressing the intention to return home.
I don't know where I am but I don't care,
Indifference to the current location due to a clear direction.
'Cause I know where I'm going.
Confidence about the destination.
I'm going where the voices,
Desire to follow inner guidance or instincts.
In my head tell me to
Willingness to traverse difficulties for reunion or connection.
I'd walk a thousand crooked miles,
Willingness to endure hardships for the sake of reuniting.
To try to get back to you
Effort to return to a significant person or place.
Chorus :
Reiteration of weariness and solitude.
Well I'm weary to the bone,
Expression of physical and emotional exhaustion.
As I wake here alone,
Describing waking up alone and in pain.
With a pain that won't let me be
Perpetual discomfort or ache.
And there's a stranger in the mirror,
Acknowledging a feeling of unfamiliarity or disconnect with oneself.
Staring back at me,
Recognition of seeing oneself as a stranger in the reflection.
( Oh Lord, could it be, is that me ? )
Questioning one's own identity or recognition in disbelief.
These hands are shaking in the shadows,
Physical signs of nervousness or anxiety.
Of the old morning sun
Describing the early hours of the day.
That's dripping through the window pane,
Light entering the room, signifying a new day.
Lord, this feeling is second to none
Intense and unparalleled emotional state.
Repeat Chorus
Restatement of weariness and solitude.
I can almost see your smile,
Almost sensing someone's happiness.
And I can almost hear your voice
Almost perceiving someone's speech.
Rising high up above,
Imagining someone's presence high above.
The flat land of Illinois
Referencing a specific geographical location.
Repeat Chorus
Reiteration of weariness and solitude.
