Come Home
Bonnie St. Claire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Guess we never really knew
I fought so hard for what we thought was true
Oh, what could we do
When that was all we knew?
And how could we know
When that was all we’d do

And I think love comes home to us
And I think love comes home to find us

After we find it in ourself
We have to find it
Before we see it in anyone else
How can we know how love's suppose to be?
And how can we know if we’ve never let ourselves be seen?

And I think love comes home to us
And I think love comes home to find us

And someone comes along and makes you
Feel like you have broken down the walls that didn’t know
You had built

And that’s how you know how love's suppose to be
And that’s how you see how love can set you free





And I think love comes home to us
And I think love comes home to find us

Overall Meaning

The song "Come Home" by Bonnie St. Claire is about the complexities of love and how sometimes we don't realize what love truly is until someone comes along and shows us. The lyrics talk about a relationship where the couple thought they knew what love was, but as it turns out, they didn't really know at all. Despite fighting for the relationship, it fell apart because they didn't have a true understanding of what love means.


The song also talks about the importance of finding love within ourselves before we can see it in anyone else. It's a reminder that we can't expect others to show us love if we haven't first found it within ourselves. Once we find love within ourselves, we are able to recognize it when it comes to us.


The chorus, "And I think love comes home to us, and I think love comes home to find us," emphasizes the idea that love is something that will find us when we're ready for it, and that it's not something we can force or make happen.


Overall, the song speaks to the journey of finding love and the importance of understanding what it truly means before we can fully experience it with someone else.
