Come Home
Good Luck Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come to your senses, please come back home.
So you walked to the end but couldn't grasp what you were shown.
Forget what they're telling you kid.
You're not alone.
I know it's not that hard to believe it.
We live in a ghost town, and we're learning how to function with limited sight, give it all to the reaction.
I'm not sure that this is who I am.
But I've been testing the water and I'm ready to try it again.

Are you sure that that's who you are?
I don't think that you'll end up like them.
We live in a ghost town, and we're learning how to function with limited sight, give it all to the reaction.
A sense of comfort, that was the attraction, but we can find our own.
Now you recognize that.
Now you're ready for more.
Now that you can see things you couldn't see before.
And you take what you're given to give it all that you've got. ‘Cause there's more alive in your peripheral sight than you thought.

So please come back home.
Don't you want to come home?
