Already Home
Ha*Ash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turned around so I didn't see you cry, you cry
Sometimes you just can't explain
The reasons why you have to say goodbye,goodbye
It took something, it took falling
It took distance, it took time
It took a lot of getting lost to realize
I was already home, right where I was supposed to be
You were right in front of me
I was not alone
I was already home, sometimes you're too close to see
The one thing that you really need has been there all along
It took leaving you to know, I was already home
It took a long, long road to see,
What matters most in life to me was gone, was gone
But I thought what I was looking for
Was right here waiting at your door
I was wrong, so wrong
It took tumbling, it took falling
It took distance, it took time
It took a lot of getting lost to realize
I was already home, right where I was supposed to be
You were right in front of me
I was not alone
I was already home, sometimes you're too close to see
The one thing that you really need has been there all along
It took leaving you to know
I was so caught up in the thrill of something different
Something new,
It took a lot of missing you to see the truth
I was already home, right where I was supposed to be
You were right in front of me
I was not alone
I was already home, sometimes you're too close to see
The one thing that you really need has been there all along
It took leaving you to know (It took leaving you to know)
I was already home
I was already home
The lyrics to Ha*Ash's song "Already Home" depict a realization and reflection on the importance of appreciating what one already has rather than constantly searching for something new or different. The song begins with the singer leaving their loved one, feeling the weight of their departure as they avoid witnessing the tears. They acknowledge that sometimes goodbyes are necessary, but they may not always be easy to explain.
The verse suggests that it took certain experiences and a process of self-discovery for the singer to understand that they had already found their home and true happiness. Through "falling," "distance," and "getting lost," they finally come to this awareness. The repetitive chorus reinforces this theme of being right where one is meant to be and having what is needed in front of them. The singer admits their initial blindness to their loved one's presence and the fact that they were not alone; they only saw the truth after leaving.
The bridge highlights how the singer was initially infatuated with the thrill of something different and new, becoming temporarily blinded by this excitement. However, it took a significant amount of missing their loved one to recognize the truth and acknowledge that they were already home.
Overall, "Already Home" urges listeners to appreciate the people and things they already have in their lives rather than constantly seeking for something different or more. It serves as a reminder to not take these existing connections and comforts for granted.
