Far Places Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but I remember this place
Pull me round in circles
but I go anyway
Kiss me a little longer
Familiar and slow
Forget about the nights when
You’re talking me up
Then you're talking me down
You pull me in close
and I’m high off the sound
If I could say I didn’t want it
I know I should have left it back with twenty-two
and I can’t quite put my finger on it
I want it when we move the way we used to do
You give me that feeling
(Feeling)
(Way we used to do)
(Feeling)
You lean the way you used to
and I still hate your friends
You say you don’t remember
and I go with it
Take me back to younger
Spinning in the street
This town it makes us dumber
I like how you know me
I’m on my way up
Then you let me fall back down
You pull me in close
and I’m coming around
If I could say I didn’t want it
I know I should have left it back with twenty-two
and I can’t quite put my finger on it
I want it when we move the way we used to do
You give me that feeling
(Feeling)
(Way we used to do)
(Feeling)
(Way we used to do)
If I could say I didn’t want it
I know I should have left it back with twenty-two
and I can’t quite put my finger on it
I want it when we move the way we used to do
(Way we used to do)
(Way we used to do)
You give me that feeling
(Way we used to do)
The lyrics of Far Places's song "Homecoming" depict a sense of nostalgia and longing for a past relationship. The singer reflects on not knowing where they are headed in life, but they vividly remember a specific place that holds significance to them. Despite being pulled in different directions, they continue to go along with it. The mention of being kissed longer and the nights going up in smoke suggests a passionate and reckless past.
The song continues with the singer being talked up and down, indicating the unpredictable nature of the relationship. Despite the ups and downs, there is a magnetic pull that brings the singer close again, causing them to feel euphoric and intoxicated by the connection. The lyrics also touch upon the conflicting emotions of wanting to distance themselves from the relationship but being unable to resist it. The line "You give me that feeling" represents the culmination of all these emotions, the familiarity and intensity that the relationship brings.

I don’t know where we are going
I'm unsure of our future direction
but I remember this place
I still have memories of this place
Pull me round in circles
You confuse me and keep me unsure
but I go anyway
But I still continue moving forward
Kiss me a little longer
Keep our kisses going, prolong the moment
Familiar and slow
Comfortable and unhurried
Forget about the nights when
Let go of the memories of those nights when
We went up in smoke
We got swept away and lost
You’re talking me up
You're praising me, building me up
Then you're talking me down
But then you criticize and demoralize me
You pull me in close
You bring me near to you
and I’m high off the sound
And I feel euphoric from your words
If I could say I didn’t want it
If only I could deny my desire for it
I know I should have left it back with twenty-two
I acknowledge that I should have left it in the past
and I can’t quite put my finger on it
I can't fully grasp or explain it
I want it when we move the way we used to do
I long for the way we used to be together
You give me that feeling
You make me experience those emotions
You lean the way you used to
You act in the same manner as before
and I still hate your friends
I still hold animosity towards your friends
You say you don’t remember
You claim to have no recollection
and I go with it
And I play along, accept it
Take me back to younger
Transport me to our younger days
Spinning in the street
Dancing and twirling in the road
This town it makes us dumber
This town makes us feel less intelligent
I like how you know me
I appreciate that you understand me
I’m on my way up
I'm experiencing success and progress
Then you let me fall back down
But then you allow me to plummet and fail
and I’m coming around
But I'm starting to recover and regain my determination
If I could say I didn’t want it
If only I could deny my desire for it
I know I should have left it back with twenty-two
I acknowledge that I should have left it in the past
and I can’t quite put my finger on it
I can't fully grasp or explain it
I want it when we move the way we used to do
I long for the way we used to be together
You give me that feeling
You make me experience those emotions

If I could say I didn’t want it
If only I could deny my desire for it

I want it when we move the way we used to do
I long for the way we used to be together
