Got To Go
G.O.D. Limited Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're speaking to me, trying to pull me in out of the cold
No sign of light in the day and no hand around I can hold
I long for the places my memory wants me to go
Sing me a song for the road and save the last line for me
'Cause I'm only half of the man that you want me to be
It looks like I've got to go, feels like the final scene
I hear your voice once more echo outside my door
You know I'd change all this around now if only I could
But I've got to go home
I used to play all the games, I'd see it out win or lose
But no one's your friend when you walk in another man's shoes
Running around out my head, keeping the pain inside
You found me out and you showed me i don't need to hide
It looks like I've got to go, feels like the final scene
And everything's falling down faster than I thought it would
I hear your voice once more echo outside my door
You know I'd change all this around now if only I could
But I've got to go home, home
Got to go home, home
It looks like I've got to go, it feels like the final scene
And everything's falling down faster than I thought it would
I hear your voice once more echo outside my door
You know I'd change all this around now if only I could
But I've got to go home, I gotta go home
Got to go home, but I've got to go home

Caught in the dead of the night with faces that I used to know
I am surrounded by familiar faces in the middle of the night
They're speaking to me, trying to pull me in out of the cold
These faces are trying to convince me to stay and not feel alone
No sign of light in the day and no hand around I can hold
During the day, I feel hopeless and alone without anyone to comfort me
I long for the places my memory wants me to go
I wish to be transported to a distant, happier memory of a place
Sing me a song for the road and save the last line for me
Sing me a song to give me strength for the journey ahead
'Cause I'm only half of the man that you want me to be
I feel like I am not living up to someone's expectations of me
It looks like I've got to go, feels like the final scene
It seems like it's time for me to leave, and it feels like an ending
And everything's falling down faster than I thought it would
Things are falling apart much quicker than I anticipated
I hear your voice once more echo outside my door
I hear someone I care about calling out to me
You know I'd change all this around now if only I could
If it were possible, I would do anything to fix things
But I've got to go home
I have to return to where I came from
I used to play all the games, I'd see it out win or lose
I used to participate in various activities and cope with the results
But no one's your friend when you walk in another man's shoes
However, people won't be your friend when they don't know what you're going through
Running around out my head, keeping the pain inside
I have been battling inner turmoil for some time
You found me out and you showed me I don't need to hide
You have helped me realize that I don't need to keep my struggles hidden
I gotta go home, got to go home
I need to go back home as soon as possible
But I've got to go home, I gotta go home
There is no other choice for me than to return home
