Home Again
God Street Wine Lyrics

Ooh little cousin
The singer is addressing their younger cousin.

See how far you've come
The singer acknowledges the growth and progress their cousin has made.

Between the daybreak and the setting sun
The timeframe that the singer reflects upon is a full day, with its ups and downs.

Ooh little cousin
The artist once again addresses their cousin.

See how hard it's been
The artist acknowledges the struggles that their cousin has undergone.

To hold your head up in the rain and the wind
The weather being used as a metaphor for difficult times, where the cousin has had to remain strong.

And when you close your eyes
The singer asks their cousin to reflect on their past experiences.

Do you feel it all again
The artist wonders if their cousin relives their past struggles.

And do you realize
The artist asks if their cousin realizes that the current day may feel never-ending.

This day may never end
The artist reflects on the cyclical nature of life, where days can feel like they last a lifetime.

And though you don't know when
The singer acknowledges the uncertainty of the future.

You'll come home again.
The artist assures their cousin that they will come back to their true self and their happy place.

Ooh is there something
The singer asks their cousin if there is something they'd like to share.

You could share with me
The singer offers their ear to their cousin.

As your river empties gently
The metaphor of a river flowing into the sea is used to represent the passage of their cousin's thoughts and emotions.

In the sea
The artist refers to the vastness and depth of their cousin's emotions.

Ooh in that moment
The artist refers to a specific moment of reflection.

When your memories fall down from the sky
The memory of their past experiences is compared to rain, falling from the sky.

Are those tears of joy or pain
The singer wonders whether their cousin's emotions are positive or negative.

In your eyes?
The artist is looking for a clue in their cousin's expression.

And in the blinding light
A metaphor for the truth being revealed.

You will see yourself again
The artist assures their cousin that they will recognize their true self once again.

And when you sleep tonight
The singer acknowledges that their cousin will lie down to sleep, despite their current struggles.

This dream may never end
The metaphor of a dream is used again to represent the cyclical nature of life.

And though you don't know when
The singer emphasizes again the uncertainty of the future.

You'll come home again.
The singer reassures their cousin that they will ultimately come home to a happy place.

Ooh, you'll come home again.
The song ends with a repetition of the reassurance that their cousin will come home again.
