You're Like Coming Home
Emerson Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Weary traveler, something missin' inside
Always lookin' for a reason to turn around
Desperate for a little peace of mind
Just a bit of what I left behind
Well, I found it now
Oh, you're like coming home
[Chorus]
You're like a Sunday morning, pleasin' my eyes
You're a mid-summer's dream under a star-soaked sky
That peaceful, easy feelin' at the end of a long, long road
You're like comin' home
You're like comin' home
You're like comin' home
Go ahead let your hair fall down
The wanderlust is gone now
Here in your arms
I'm safe from the world again
These are the days that can't be erased
Baby, there isn't a better place
You're like Heaven
Oh, you're like comin' home
[Chorus]
Oh,
You're that innocence
That serenity
That long lost part of me
You're like a Sunday morning, pleasin' my eyes
You're a mid-summer's dream under a star-soaked sky
That peaceful, easy feelin' at the end of a long, long road
[Chorus]
Oh, you're like comin' home
The lyrics of Emerson Drive's "You're Like Coming Home" capture the feeling of finding contentment and solace in a person after a long journey or a period of searching. The first verse portrays the restlessness and weariness of a traveler who is always looking for a reason to turn around, suggesting that they are searching for something they cannot find. However, in the second half of the verse, the singer sings about finding what was missing in the person they are with. The chorus then compares this feeling to a peaceful Sunday morning, a dreamy midsummer night, and a sense of ease after a long road. The second verse continues to extol the virtues of the person: the singer finds a sense of safety and peace in their arms, and feels that these are the days that cannot be erased. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the statement that the person is like coming home.
The song's lyrics are simple and straightforward but effectively convey a sense of warmth, security, and peace. The metaphor of home is used to suggest the completeness and comfort that can be found in a person, not just a physical place. The images of Sunday morning, star-soaked sky, and long roads add to the sense of nostalgia and longing for a simpler time or place. Overall, the song captures the universal desire to find a place of belonging and contentment, and suggests that this can be found in a person who makes us feel safe, happy, and at peace.
