Call Me Home
Galantis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sweetest sound, took me away from you
Oh, oh, I was in you, your heart was in me
We were lovers, babe, I believed
We were in love, we were in line
We were strong but we wither and die
Now you're calling me, calling me home
Calling me, calling me home
I don't mind, don't you stop
Saying it's time to come home
We don't have to hurt no more
You call me home
You call me home
You call me home
You call me home
You call me home
A beautiful road, but it's under the aisle
You pulling a feeling, baby, I'll wait this time
Oh, oh, I was in you, your heart was in me
We were lovers, babe, I believed
We were in love, we were in line
We were strong but we wither and die
Now you're calling me, calling me home
Pulling me out of the crowd
Calling me, calling me home
I don't mind, don't you stop
Saying it's time to come home
We don't have to hurt no more
You call me home
You call me home
You call me home
You call me home
You call me home
The lyrics of Galantis’ “Call Me Home” convey the story of a past relationship that was filled with love and passion but eventually dwindled away. The opening line, “I was born around, but not down that road” suggests a feeling of disconnection, implying that the singer is no longer a part of the same path as the person they are singing to. The “sweetest sound” (which is not explicitly mentioned) took them away from the person and now they feel like they are waiting for that sound again to return to where they started, to the place that once felt like home with the person they once loved. They were in love, strong and committed to each other, but like everything in life, it withers and dies over time.
The hook of the song, “Now you're calling me, calling me home / Pulling me out of the crowd / Calling me, calling me home…” portrays a yearning for a return to a past love. It suggests that despite the end of their relationship and their physical distance, there is still a desire for a reunion, a homecoming with the person who once meant everything to them. The repetition of the phrase “you call me home” suggests the importance of the person in the singer’s life and how much they long to be reunited. The song ends with the same refrain, suggesting that the singer has come home, where they belong - with the person they love.

I was born around, but not down that road
I have been around for a while but never went down the path that led to being with you
The sweetest sound, took me away from you
Something irresistible took me away from you
Oh, oh, I was in you, your heart was in me
We were deeply connected and intertwined with each other
We were lovers, babe, I believed
I felt like we were in a romantic relationship
We were in love, we were in line
We were meant for each other and on the same wavelength
We were strong but we wither and die
Our bond was once strong but eventually weakened and faded away
Now you're calling me, calling me home
You are reaching out to me and asking me to come back into your life
Pulling me out of the crowd
You are separating me from the rest of the world and making me feel special
I don't mind, don't you stop
I am open to the idea of coming back to you, so please don't give up on me
Saying it's time to come home
You are expressing that the timing is right for us to be together again
We don't have to hurt no more
We can let go of the pain we experienced and start anew
You call me home
You are inviting me back into your life
You call me home
You are inviting me back into your life
You call me home
You are inviting me back into your life
You call me home
You are inviting me back into your life
You call me home
You are inviting me back into your life
