Come Home
Faith Hill Lyrics

Hello world, hope you’re listening
Addressing the world, hoping that someone is listening.

Forgive me if I’m young
Apologizing for being young and inexperienced.

Or speaking out of turn
Apologizing for possibly saying something she shouldn't.

But there’s someone I’ve been missing
Acknowledging she misses someone.

And I think that they could be
Speculating that this person might be the one for her.

The better half of me
Believing that this person completes her.

They’re in the wrong place trying to make it right
Explaining that this person is in the wrong place and struggling, but trying to make things better.

But I’m tired of justifying
Feeling like she's been making excuses for too long.

So I say to you
Addressing the person she's been missing.

Come home, come home
Asking this person to come home.

'Cause I’ve been waiting for you
Explaining that she's been waiting for this person.

For so long, so long
Emphasizing how long she's been waiting.

And right now there’s a war between the vanities
Referring to conflicts or struggles between prideful or vain people.

But all I see is you and me
Simplifying the noise and distractions to meaning that it's just the two of them who matter.

To fight for you is all I’ve ever known
Expressing that her purpose has always been to fight for this person and be with them.

So come home
Repeating the request for the person to come home.

I get lost in the beauty of everything I see
Feeling captivated by the beauty of everything around her.

The world ain’t as half as bad
Believing that the world isn't as negative as some people make it seem.

As they paint it to be
Referring the negative image painted of the world by others.

When all the sons, all the daughters stop to take it in
Implying that if everyone pauses to appreciate the world, there could be less conflict.

Then hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin
Expressing hope that people can stop hating and start loving more.

It might start now
Believing that change could begin soon, potentially with this person coming home.

Maybe I’m just dreaming out loud
Acknowledging that her hope could be unrealistic, or just wishful thinking.

But until then
Accepting the current circumstances until things can change.

Everything I can’t be
Highlighting her shortcomings and limitations.

Is everything you should be
Desiring her missing person for having the positive qualities she lacks.

And that’s why I need you here
Explaining that this is why she wants this person to come home.

So hear this now
Asking for undivided attention and focus.

Come home, come home
Repeating the request one last time.

To fight for you is all I’ve ever known, ever known
Reiterating that she's always been committed to fighting for this person and their relationship.
