Can't Find My Way Home
Pat Green & Cory Morrow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone, somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long, somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

Come down on your own and leave your body alone, somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years, somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home





Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pat Green & Cory Morrow's song "Can't Find My Way Home" speak about feeling lost, desperate and stuck in a world that seems to have no direction. The opening line, "Come down off your throne and leave your body alone," seems to suggest that the singer feels like they are above everyone else and need to come back down to earth. This feeling of superiority is not doing them any favors, as they feel disconnected from the world around them.


The next line, "You are the reason I've been waiting so long, somebody holds the key," suggests that the singer is waiting for someone or something to come along and change their life. They are looking for a key to unlock the door that will lead them to a more fulfilling existence. However, despite waiting for so long, they are still lost and don't know what to do next.


The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is nearing the end of their rope and doesn't have much time left. They are "wasted" and unable to find their way home. They may be referring to a physical location, but it could also be a metaphorical home, a place where they feel like they belong and are at peace.


Overall, the song speaks to the human experience of feeling lost, directionless, and alone. It's a cry for help, a plea for someone to come along and show them the way out of the darkness.
