Always Home
Grebes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
take me underneath
All I know, something I do all the time
until it gets old
All I, wait for the cover of night, take me under
All I do, wait for my plan to unfold, but it will never
And if I see your name on my phone
I am always home
All I, laying awake in the light, looking it over
All I do, wait for the morning to rise, take me with you
All I know, take em before they get old, but I will never
And when I'm driving tired and alone
you were always home
And when the last green starling has flown
will there be anything to call your own, I would never
and when you're tired and all alone, you know I am always home

Line by Line Meaning
All I, wait for the car to arrive
I'm always waiting for someone or something to pick me up
take me underneath
and take me to a place where I can escape and hide
All I know, something I do all the time
It's a habit, and I do it quite often
until it gets old
which can sometimes make it feel mundane or repetitive
All I, wait for the cover of night, take me under
I wait for it to be dark outside, and then I go hiding
All I do, wait for my plan to unfold, but it will never
I always have a plan that I hope will succeed, but it never does
And if I see your name on my phone
But if I see your name on my phone,
I am always home
I feel like I'm finally where I belong and most comfortable.
All I, left at the scene of the crime, left in my mind
I usually leave something behind,
All I, laying awake in the light, looking it over
and sometimes, I feel like I'm being watched or followed.
All I do, wait for the morning to rise, take me with you
But the next morning, I'm always ready to leave and come with you.
All I know, take em before they get old, but I will never
I know there's a lot to experience and explore,
And when I'm driving tired and alone
When I'm tired and alone while driving,
you were always home
I always think of you as my safe haven and my home away from home.
And when the last green starling has flown
When there's nothing left around,
will there be anything to call your own, I would never
I hope you have something you can call your own because I know I don't
and when you're tired and all alone, you know I am always home
But when you're tired and alone, remember that you can always come to me because I'll be waiting for you.
