Take Me Home
King Guru Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wasn′t that I discounted, yeah
The things on one hand
That truly matter to me
And you know you're love, you′re love, you're love
Is one of those
I want your love to take me home
It′s so hard when you′re love is not around
And I'm alone
Well I was thinking
That I should come back home
Pick up and leaving
All the other things and I′ve?
But that's not an option and I wish it was
But life has got our things planned for us
Oh, now
I want your love to take me home
When I′m gone
It's so hard when you′re love is not around
And I'm alone
And when I look out the window
I see your face staring back at me
And as a creature of habit
I never
Never wanna let it be
I want your love to take me home
When I'm gone
It′s so hard when you′re love is not around
And I'm alone
And when I look out the window
I see your face staring back at me
And as a creature of habit
I never
Never wanna let it be
In this song, King Guru expresses his longing for the love of his partner. He begins by stating that he has discovered what he truly wants, and that it is not something he has disregarded. He goes on to explain that there are certain things that truly matter to him, and his love's affection is one of them. He then pleads for her love to always be with him, especially during times when he feels alone and misses her presence.
The artist then reveals a desire to return home, leaving behind everything else that they have been doing. However, he acknowledges that this is not an option because life has other plans for them. King Guru shifts to describing the feeling he gets when he looks out the window and stares at his lover's face. He never wants to miss seeing her, and his love's return home is the only thing he craves.
The song's theme deals with the complexities of relationships, as King Guru recognizes the effects of separation from a loved one. The songwriting style incorporates honesty and raw emotion, making it more relatable to the listeners. The chorus is catchy and easy to sing, and the blend of guitar and percussion helps to set a romantic and sentimental mood.
