I Can Never Go Home Anymore
Homebound Heartache: A Tale of Love Lost and Lessons Learned
Lyrics
I'm gonna hide if she don't leave me alone
I plan to hide if she doesn't leave me alone.
I'm gonna run away
I intend to run away.
Don't!!
An expression urging someone not to do something.
Cause you can never go home anymore
Once you make a certain decision, you can never return home.
Listen. Does this sound familiar? You wake up every morning, go to
The singer describes a familiar scenario of daily life and loneliness.
School every day, spend your nights on the corner just passing the time away.
The routine of waking up, going to school, and spending evenings on the corner.
Your life is so lonely like a child without a toy. Then a miracle-a boy. And that's
Life is lonely until a boy (miracle) comes along, bringing joy.
Called "glad." Now my mom is a good mom and she loves me with all her heart.
The singer's mother is loving, but disapproves of her relationship due to age.
But she said I was too young to be in love and the boy and I would have to part.
The mother insists that the singer and the boy part ways.
And no matter how I ranted and raved, I screamed, I pleaded, I cried-she told me it
Despite the singer's protests, the mother dismisses it as girlish pride.
Was not really love but only my girlish pride. And that's called "bad."
The situation is labeled as "bad" by the mother.
(Never go home anymore)
Reiteration of the theme that once a decision is made, you can never return home.
Now if that's happened to you, don't let this. I packed my clothes and
The singer leaves home against the mother's wishes, convinced it's the right choice.
Left home that night. Though she begged me to stay, I was sure I was right. And
Despite pleas to stay, the singer is determined to leave.
You know something funny?? I forgot that boy right away. Instead I remember
The singer forgets the boy quickly after leaving.
Being tucked in bed and hearing my mama say
Memories of being tucked in bed, hearing the mother's comforting words.
(Hush, little baby, don't you cry)
Mother's lullaby reassures the singer.
(Mama won't go away)
Mother promises not to go away.
Mama!!!
A cry for the mother.
(You can never go home anymore)
Reiteration of the idea that the singer can never return home.
Mama!!!
Another cry for the mother.
I can never go home anymore
Confirmation that the singer can never go home anymore.
Do you ever get that feeling and want to kiss and hug her? Do it now
An encouragement to express love and appreciation to one's mother.
Tell her you love her. Don't do to your mom what I did to mine. She grew so lonely
A warning not to repeat the mistakes made by the singer with her own mother.
In the end. Angels picked her for a friend.
The mother becomes lonely, and angels take her as a friend.
(Never)
Reiteration of the theme that once a decision is made, you can never return home.
And I can never go home (never) anymore
Confirmation that the singer can never go home anymore, emphasizing the sadness of the situation.
And that's called "sad".
Labeling the situation as "sad."
