Feels Like Home
LeAnn Rimes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember every touch
Every flower
Every word you ever said
I remember how we looked at each other
The very first time we met
I'll never forget

I remember every smile
Every letter
Every kiss you gave to me
How we'd talk and you'd hold me for hours
Until I'd fall fast asleep
You said you would always be there
Should I need your arms around me
But now that I've fallen to my knees
I don't think you give a damn about me

And it feels like
We're running out of time
And it feels like
I'm the last thing on your mind
Oh
I can touch your skin
I can hear you breathe
Baby, will you tell me what's wrong?
'Cause it feels like you're already gone (feels like)

Did you leave in the middle of the night
And forget to say goodbye?
Did you feel it was time to go
But you didn't wanna see me cry?
It gets harder and harder
For me to believe
That you still love me
So get on with it, baby, if you're gonna leave
It's not worth saving

And it feels like
We're running out of time
And it feels like
I'm the last thing on your mind
Oh
I can touch your skin
I can hear you breathe
Baby, will you tell me what's wrong?
'Cause it feels like you're already gone (feels like)

My heart is telling me it's too late
To beg you to stay
Wouldn't hear me anyway
Yeah

And it feels like
We're running out of time
And it feels like
I'm the last thing on your mind
Oh
I can touch your skin
I can hear you breathe
Baby, will you tell me what's wrong?
'Cause it feels like you're already gone (feels like)

(Feels like, running out of time)
You're already gone
(Feels like, I'm the last thing on your mind) oh
(Oh, feels like, running out of time)





'Cause it feels like (feels like)
You're so gone

She remembers every single touch, flower, and word spoken by her ex-boyfriend. She even remembers how they looked at each other the very first time they met. She reminisces about everything they had, including the smiles, letters, and kisses, and how they would talk and hold each other for hours until she fell asleep.

It's as if they are running out of time; she’s the last thing on his mind. She can still touch his skin and hear him breathe, but it feels like he’s already gone.

The song concludes with a heart-wrenching chorus where she says, "It feels like you're already gone."


Overall, "Feels Like Home" is a melancholic ballad about the painful process of letting go of someone you loved dearly. It paints a powerful picture of the woman's emotional response as she grieves her lost love.
