I'll Be Home
Meghan Trainor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Santa called to make sure I'm prepared
He said, "Winter love is spreading everywhere"
Summer came and took off with the spring
So now we start the Christmas Caroling
I'll find my way back home
And light up every tree
We will hang the stockings for you and one for me
'Cause Santa called to make sure I'm prepared
He said, "Pack your bags and tell them you'll be there"

I'll be home with my love this Christmas
I promise, I promise
I'll be home with my love this Christmas
I promise, I promise I'll be home
Home (I'll be home), I'll be home (I'll be home)

Santa called to make sure I'm prepared
He said, "Wrap the gifts with all your love and care"
The wind a-blows the snow up in the sky
But I won't let the wind delay my flight

I'll be home with my love this Christmas
I promise, I promise
I'll be home with my love this Christmas
I promise, I promise I'll be home
I'll be home, I'll be home
I promise, I promise
I'll be home, I'll be home
I'll be home (I'll be home)

Santa called to make sure I'm prepared
He said, "Pack your bags and tell him you'll be there"

I'll be home with my love this Christmas
I promise, I promise
I'll be home with my love this Christmas (I'll be home)
I promise, I promise I'll be home
I'll be home, I'll be home

I'll be home with my love this Christmas
I promise, I promise I'll be home

I wish my little brother could come home for just one more Christmas. He died from cancer when he was jut 5 years old. I said goodnight for the last time and I always wish that I could say good morning one last time on Christmas morning. He always loved Christmas :). I will forever love you Caden, and I wish you could come home for Christmas.😔
-love, your sister Noel❤️

This song talks about the family that needs to be reunited at home for Christmas. Because there is no Christmas without your own family.Because Christmas isn't about presents, it's about joy and love in family

You are right. I'm more exited to see my sister's coming from college. One is studying abroad in Korea and the other in Ohio. I miss them and can't wait to see them again. I don't think I need any presents this year

@whatsthisthen9271

Teodora Chita I‘m a little bit late, but still I think you‘re right, I have 3 sisters and they‘re all grown up and don‘t live at home anymore (unlike me, because I‘m the youngest and just 15 years old). One of them I just see at Christmas, cause she is every time anywhere else in the world, and maybe she can come home for Christmas, but sometimes she is missing, or one of my other sisters are missing on Christmas, and I‘m so so so happy that this year every single of them can be here, and I‘m literally crying right now... I miss them so much, and on Christmas I‘m so happy to see them... I don‘t care what I get for Christmas, as long as my sisters can be there, together with me... every I‘m happy, when I know christmas is near, cause I miss them all so much... I know nobody will read this, but if you are then happy Christmas and a lovely day to you❤️😭

It's about the birth of Christ.
