Way Back Home
Cox and the Riot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But there's nothing I can do
I want to say just thank you
But every ones has his truth
I want to say just thank you
There's nothing we can feel
Can justify emotions
You never want to hear
And nothing's telling me please stay
Can't see in your eyes
I'm searching for a way back home
Can't feel twice
The day we started from
Please tell me twice
Can you feel a way back home?
Maybe I know
The way back home is straight on
I want to say I'm sorry
But there's nothing I can do
I want to say I'm sorry
But every ones lives his truth
I want to say I'm sorry
There's nothing we can feel
Emotional aerials
Maybe could have healed
Hope you try and understand someday
It's not enough for sharing our way
Seems straight on...
Can't see in your eyes
I searching for a way back home
I can't feel twice
The day we started from
Please tell me twice
Can you feel a way back home?
Maybe I know
The way back home seems straight on
Hope you try and understand someday
There's not enough for sharing our way
Can't see in your eyes
I'm searching for a way back home
can't feel twice
The day we started from
Please tell me twice
Can you feel a way back home?
And now know
My way back home is seems on
These lyrics speak to the struggle of communication and emotional disconnect in a relationship. The singer is grappling with feelings of gratitude and remorse but is unable to express them adequately. The lines "There's nothing we can feel/ Can justify emotions/ You never want to hear" emphasize the disconnect between what the singer is feeling and the inability to communicate it. The chorus speaks to the desire to return to a place of emotional connection, a "way back home" where feelings were shared and understood. The line "maybe I know/ the way back home is straight on" suggests that this emotional connection can be regained if both parties are willing to be honest and work towards it.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of yearning and regret for what has been lost in the relationship. The use of repetition in the chorus reinforces the desire for emotional re-connection and the hope that it is possible.
