Home Sweet Home
Mötley Crüe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low

Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel
Left all alone

Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm comin' off this

Long and winding road
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home

Tonight tonight
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home

You know that I've seen
Too many romantic dreams
Up in lights, fallin' off
The silver screen

My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing keeps me together
At the seams

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight tonight

I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Yeah yeah

I'm on my way




Just set me free
Home sweet home

Line by Line Meaning

You know I'm a dreamer
I tend to think big and have high aspirations.


But my heart's of gold
Despite my dreams, I have a kind and caring nature.


I had to run away high
I fled my current situation under the influence of drugs to avoid feeling defeated.


So I wouldn't come home low
This allowed me to avoid returning to a place of sadness and unhappiness.


Just when things went right
Although some things went well in my life,


It doesn't mean they were always wrong
It doesn't mean that everything in my life was bad.


Just take this song and you'll never feel
Listen to this song and it will help you feel like you are not alone.


Left all alone
Abandoned and without anyone to turn to.


Take me to your heart
Embrace me with love and affection.


Feel me in your bones
Connect with me on a deeper level, feel what I'm going through.


Just one more night
Give me one last chance to feel comforted and safe.


And I'm comin' off this long and winding road
I've been through a lot of ups and downs in my life and I'm ready to leave it all behind.


I'm on my way
I'm making progress towards my goal.


Home sweet home
The place where I feel at peace and comfortable.


Tonight tonight
This will happen soon!


You know that I've seen
I've had many experiences in my life.


Too many romantic dreams
I've had too many fantasies about love and finding true happiness.


Up in lights, fallin' off the silver screen
My dreams have been celebrated and also shattered in the media spotlight.


My heart's like an open book
My emotions and thoughts are easily read by others.


For the whole world to read
And I'm not ashamed of it, I want to be known and understood.


Sometimes nothing keeps me together at the seams
Despite my optimistic tendencies, I feel like I'm falling apart and nothing can help me stay together.


Just set me free
Allow me to be my true self without judgment or expectations.


Yeah yeah
Affirming my desire for freedom and acceptance.
