Home Alone
Grant Landis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Icy runways
And missed flights
I shoulda been there by tonight
But now I’m sittin by my tree on my own
Closin highways
No way out
Now I’m stuck here in my house
Can’t spend christmas with my family through the phone
I don’t wanna be home alone for Christmas
All by my lonesome
But I’m stuck out here with no one
Just waitin for my someone
Home alone for Christmas
Without my momma
I can’t be there but I gotta
I just gotta
I don’t wanna be home alone for Christmas
For Christmas
I don’t wanna be home alone for Christmas
For Christmas
Christmas miracles
And prayers
Just aren’t workin
But I’ve been good this year I’ve earned it
Santa please just make this perfect oh no
Gimme hope so I can make it
Through the holidays
Cause I just needa way
To see my mommas face
I don’t wanna be home alone for Christmas
All by my lonesome
But i’m stuck out here with no one
Just waitin for my someone
Home alone for Christmas
Without my momma
I can’t be there but I gotta
I just gotta
I don’t wanna be home alone for Christmas
For Christmas




I don’t wanna be home alone for Christmas
For Christmas

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Grant Landis's song "Home Alone" depict the feeling of isolation and longing during the Christmas season. The song tells the story of someone who is stuck at home, unable to be with their family, and feeling lonely and sad as a result. The mention of icy runways, missed flights, and closed highways suggests that the person had plans to be with their family for Christmas but circumstances prevented them from doing so.


The refrain, "I don't wanna be home alone for Christmas, all by my lonesome, but I'm stuck out here with no one, just waiting for my someone," reveals the deep desire to be surrounded by loved ones during this special time. The repetition emphasizes the feeling of longing and the sense of being trapped in a situation that is out of their control.


The lyrics also express the hope for a Christmas miracle, praying for a way to see their mom's face and not be alone during this holiday. Despite feeling like they have been good throughout the year and deserving of a perfect Christmas, the person feels helpless and relies on Santa to make their wish come true.


Overall, "Home Alone" captures the bittersweet emotions that can arise during the holiday season when one is unable to be with their loved ones. It reminds us of the importance of family and the longing for connection during this time of year.
