Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alabama, Arkansas
I do love my Ma and Pa
But not the 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 nothin' that I need

Well, hot and heavy pumpkin pie
Chocolate candy, Jesus Christ
There ain't nothin' 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

Lalalala, take me home
Momma, I'm coming home

I'll follow you into the park
Through the jungle, through the dark
Girl, I've never loved one like you

Moats and boats, and waterfalls
Alleyways and payphone calls
I've been everywhere with you (hey!)
(That's true)

Laugh until we think we'll die (we'll die!)
Barefoot on a summer night (summer night!)
Never could be sweeter than with you

And in the streets we're running free
Like it's only you and me

Geez, you're somethin' 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

Lalalala, take me home
Daddy, I'm coming home

"Jade..."
"Alexander..."
"Do you remember that day you fell out of my window?"
"I sure do, you came jumping out after me."
"Well, you fell out in the concrete and nearly broke your ass.
And you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you off to the hospital.
Do 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 till just now!"
"Aw..."

Home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you
Oh home, let me come home
Home is when I'm alone with you!

Home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you

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 payphone calls.
Home is wherever I'm with you.
Home is when I'm alone with you.

Overall Meaning

The song “Home” by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros is a love song about how the singer’s love for his partner surpasses all other forms of love, like that for his parents. The song is a celebration of the joy and contentment that the singer finds in having a home, which is being with his partner. The singer reminisces about the memories he has created with his partner, from parks to alleys, and that they have been everywhere together. They have laughed together, ran together, and bonded deeply. The singer admits that he has never loved anyone like his partner, and that he/she is the apple of his eye.


The lyrics have a cheerful and upbeat tone, reflecting the happy and content state of the singer's life. The repeated phrase “Home is wherever I’m with you” drives the message that the singer’s catch-all definition of home is his partner. The song is interspersed with a brief conversation between Jade and Alexander, detailing how Alexander fell in love with Jade. The song stresses the importance of communication in love, as Alexander confesses his love to Jade in retrospect, after already falling in love with her.

I hope God doesnt let me die until ive tasted this kind of love and freedom.

@dottyastercapasloke2739

This is one of the saddest sentences I've ever read in my life

@heavenn444

@@dottyastercapasloke2739 Um, yeah... I just wish things were different ♡ but hey, im fighting for that and im hopeful. In the end, thats all what matters, right? ♡

@heavenn444

@if the why is clear the how is easy I dont really know and this lack of knowledge really hurts. Yet, if we are on the path, it must have an end. The first step was to be aware of what we want for life to be ♡ Dont give up, you are gonna get there. I believe in the desert's oases to keep us strong and going. ♡

@heavenn444

@Vir Nobilis Well, im really glad to read your opinion ♡ Yet, thats what you chose to believe, thats what you settled down with, thats your vision. I dont think that there's a point on discussing it since life hit and mold us all different. I'm gonna believe and chase what I want. The person whos gonna prove me if it is "foolish" or not, is myself. I'm on it because I want it all, the danger, the risks, the bitter taste, the battles, the pain... Not because I heard/read about it. ♡ I've got nothing to lose except the opportunity of making my life great again. Wish you nothing, but happiness ♡

@elenamarcelli9022

Your soulmate is on their way, be patient. You're going to meet them sooner or later. And I swear to you this love exists cause I'm fully living it right now.

And about freedom... it's inside yourself, just look for it, you can be free in any moment. You should read Seneca. Some things don't change even in two thousand of years ;)
