[.que] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been some time since we've held each other
Oh no
Strange year: full of woe, full of fear
A really lonely year, full of sadness and tears
And so
I miss you, I miss you, so please
Come home for Christmas
I know that you'll see it through
The clouds
Come home for Christmas
We'll be together soon
I know that you'll see it through
Somehow
It's been a while since we've shared a meal
It's been some time since we laughed until
We cried
We tried to hide the feelings inside
And all the while we really, really tried
To smile
I miss you, I miss you, so please
Come home for Christmas
There'll be a light on for you
I know that you'll see it through
The clouds
Come home for Christmas
We'll be together soon
I know that you'll see it through
Somehow
Light a candle and say
A prayer for the day
That you'll find a way
To come home
Home, come home for Christmas
Come home for Christmas
There'll be a light on for you
I know that you'll see it through
The clouds
Come home for Christmas
We'll be together soon
I know that you'll see it through
Somehow
Somehow, somehow, somehow
In “Home”, .que shares a message of longing for the people he loves to come home for the holidays. The song speaks to the yearning we all have to be reunited with family and friends, especially during a year like 2020 that has been marked by isolation and uncertainty. The opening lines immediately create a sense of nostalgia and sadness for time lost, as .que sings, "It's been a while since we've all been together / It's been some time since we've held each other." He goes on to acknowledge the difficulties of the past year, with its "sadness and tears" and "woe and fear". The chorus repeats the invitation to come home for Christmas, with the message that there will always be a light on for loved ones, even in darker times.
The second verse continues the theme of lost time and missed connections. .que sings, "It's been a while since we've shared a meal / It's been some time since we laughed until / We cried." These lines suggest a deep emotional connection with those he's singing to, and a shared history of joy and sorrow. The reference to hiding feelings inside also hints at past struggles and unspoken grief. The bridge, with its invitation to "light a candle and say a prayer for the day / That you'll find a way / To come home," adds a hopeful touch to the song's overall message, suggesting that even when we're far apart, we can still find ways to connect and hold each other in our thoughts.

Lyric:
Alabama, Arkansas
I do love my ma and pa
Not that way that I do love you
Well, holy moly, me oh my
You're the apple of my eye
Girl, I've never loved one like you
Man, oh man, you're my best friend
I scream it to the nothingness
There ain't nothing that I need
Well, hot and heavy, pumpkin pie
Chocolate candy, Jesus Christ
Ain't nothing please me more than you
Oh, home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you
Oh, home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you
La, la, la, la, take me home
(Daddy) Mother, I'm coming home
I'll follow you into the park
Through the jungle, through the dark
Girl, I never loved one like you (hey)
Moats and boats and waterfalls
Alleyways and pay phone calls
I've been everywhere (hey) with you
That's true, laugh until we think we'll die
Barefoot on a summer night
Never could be sweeter than with you (hey)
And in the streets you run a-free
Like it's only you and me
Geez, you're something to see
Oh, home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you
Oh, home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you
La, la, la, la, take me home
(Daddy) Mother, I'm coming home

"Do you remember that day you fell out of my window?"
"I sure do, you came jumping out after me"
"Well, you fell on the concrete, nearly broke your ass
And you were bleedin' all over the place
And I rushed you out to the hospital, you remember that?"
"Yes, I do"
"Well, there's something I never told you about that night"
"What didn't you tell me?"
"While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette
You thought was gonna be your last
I was falling deep, deeply in love with you
And I never told you 'til just now"
"Aww"
Oh, home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you
Oh, home, let me come home
Home is where I'm alone with you
Home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you
Oh, home, yes, I am home
Home is when I'm alone with you
Alabama, Arkansas
I do love my ma and pa
Moats and boats and waterfalls
Alleyways and pay phone calls
Home is when I'm alone with you
Home is when I'm alone with you
