Already Home
Benjamin Kheng Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Still at the start
Can′t find the end
Can't keep the walls from closing us in
Can′t end with you if I never begin
So call out my name
I'll find you

You should know that I'm not all quiet there

You should save me if only you dare

′Cause I′m already
(I know what you feel like, know what you feel like, yeah)
'Cause I′m already home (I know what you feel like)
(Know what you feel like, yeah)
'Cause I′m already home (I know what you feel like)
(Know what you feel like, yeah)
'Cause I′m already home
(I know what you feel like, know what you feel like, yeah)

You should know I'm the good kind of mad, oh-oh
You should know I'm the best kind of bad

′Cause I′m already
(I know what you feel like, know what you feel like, yeah)
'Cause I′m already home (I know what you feel like)
(Know what you feel like)

I'm out here fighting the panic
You′re not trying to leave
You run into the fire with me, yeah
'Cause I′m already home (I know what you feel like)
(Know what you feel like)

Get up and out there
Head up and out there
Head up and out there
Someone is summoning this

Get up and out there
Suffer for something
Head up and out there
Someone is summoning this

I know what you feel like, know what you feel like, yeah
Know what, know what
I know what you feel like, know what you feel like, yeah

Still at the start
Can't find the end
Can't keep the walls from closing us in
Can′t end with you if I never begin

So call out my name
I′ll find you
