Reese Lansangan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did they tell you
Just how long a time
It took for me to get to you
And when the world
Said it's impossible
Said it's improbable
The chances of me finding you
Pre-chorus:
But nobody knows
How we go
When we're alone
It's like we're home
My bones are safe
And my heart can rest
Knowing it belongs to you
My world is changed
And it's cradled by
The comfort that is you
Ooh
Oh my love
My head is reeling
And I am running out of air
I need to breathe in
I didn't know
That it was possible
To put all that I am
In the palm of your hand
Now we're unstoppable
Pre-chorus:
But nobody knows
How we go
When we're alone
It's like we're home
But nobody knows
How we go
When we're alone
It's like we're home
The song "Home" by Reese Lansangan talks about finding love in unexpected ways and the feeling of finally being at home with someone you love. The opening lines "Did they tell you / Just how long a time / It took for me to get to you" conveys a sense of perseverance and determination to find the person they love. The following lines, "And when the world / Said it's impossible / Said it's improbable / The chances of me finding you" implies that the journey was not an easy one and was met with obstacles.
The pre-chorus, "But nobody knows / How we go / When we're alone / It's like we're home" suggest that despite the difficulties they've been through, all of that is forgotten when they are together. The feeling of being home is something that is commonly associated with a sense of belonging and safety, making the chorus powerfully emotional. The lines "My bones are safe / And my heart can rest / Knowing it belongs to you" and "My world is changed / And it's cradled by / The comfort that is you" add to this feeling of security and contentment.
The second verse talks about the overwhelming feeling of love and the desire to be with that person forever. "My head is reeling / And I am running out of air / I need to breathe in" suggests that the love they feel is so powerful that it's hard to put into words. The lines "I didn't know / That it was possible / To put all that I am / In the palm of your hand" highlights the power of love and how it can consume a person fully. The final lines in the song, "Now we're unstoppable / But nobody knows / How we go / When we're alone / It's like we're home" ends the song on a hopeful and victorious note, implying that the love they've found is unbreakable.
