Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Theres no-one at home
Staying in moms till Sunday morn and
Suit and tie for mass then rush to be there when she lands
There's no-one at home
I'm just going through the motions
If I'm crippled missing you it proves my love is true
I've done my best to try and not rely on you
But when you're gone love songs are all I'm writing for you
I've done my best to plan for when you'd go
I'm scared I need you cause losings all I know
Theres no-one at home
Just a pillow marked by one
Wonder if you dream the same if you've not me to hold
I've done my best to try and not rely on you
But when you're gone, love songs are all I'm writing for you
I've done my best to plan for when you'd go
I'm scared I need you cause losings all I know
Oh babe losings all I know
Oh babe losings all I know




Oh babe losings all I know
Oh babe losings all I know
