Home Sweet Home
RA" Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ve got, my head under water
Did you steal my thunder
You steal my thunder
I’ve been, lost in the mazes
My heart locked in cages
Unlock the cages

'Cause I’m like a road
Like a road that needs paving
Just like a storm
Like a storm needing shaping
Don’t care if it brakes my bones

Could you be home
Could you be safety
A place to rest my sole
'Cause I’ve been on my own
for too long
Don’t leave it alone
Keep pushing on baby
'Cause I’ve been losing hope
I’ve been losing
I’ve been bruised so

Could you be home, home
Could you be home
Could you be home

Sleeping, sleeping on benches
Lost in the trenches
You pull me from trenches

'Cause I’ve been alone, been alone
I’ve been taking
Just like a ghost
Like a ghost reawaken
Don’t care if it brakes my bones

Could you be home
Could you be safety
A place to rest my sole
'Cause I’ve been on my own
for too long
Don’t leave it alone
Keep pushing on baby
'Cause I’ve been losing hope
I’ve been losing
I’ve been bruised so

Could you be home, home
Could you be home
Could you be home

Ahh, ooooo, could you be home, yaah

Could you be home
Could you be safety
A place to rest my sole
'Cause I’ve been on my own
for too long
Don’t leave it alone
Keep pushing on baby
'Cause I’ve been losing hope
I’ve been losing
I’ve been bruised so

Could you be home, home




Could you be home
Could you be home
