Finding My Way
Rush Lyrics

Yeah, oh yeah
Expressing excitement and determination about finding his way back home.

Ooh, said I
An exclamation that shows the singer is serious.

I'm coming out to get you
Looking for someone to help guide him home.

Ooh, sit down
Asking the person he is looking for to wait for him.

I'm coming out to find you
Driven to find his way back home.

Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Reiterating his confidence in his ability to find his way home.

Finding my way
The central theme of the song; trying to get back home.

I've been gone so long
Acknowledging the period of time he has been away from home.

I've lost count of the years
Not remembering the exact length of time he's been gone.

Well, I sang some sad songs
Expressing his sadness and loneliness while away from home.

Oh yes, and cried some bad tears
Explaining that he's felt the pain of being away from home.

Look out, I'm coming
A warning to anyone who may be in his way home.

Whoa, whoa
An expression of energy, excitement, and focus.

Whoa, yeah
Kicking his excitement up a notch.

I'm running
Running towards the place he calls home.

Finding my way back home
Stating the goal of his journey - to make it home.

You've done me no right
Blaming the person he's looking for for some of his trouble.

But you've done me some wrong
Admitting that he too has made mistakes.

Left me lonely each night
A clear indication that he's been feeling lonely while he's been away.

While I sing my sad song
Describing how he's been feeling and coping with being away from home.

I'm coming back to look for you
Reiterating his commitment to finding the person he's looking for.

I'm going by the back door
Changing his tactics in order to get where he needs to go.

You've done me no right
Reiterating the sense of betrayal he feels from this person.

But you've done me some wrong
Admitting again that he's not blameless in this situation.

I'm coming
Clearly stating his intent to keep moving towards his goal.

Ooh, babe, I said I'm running
Using a term of endearment while emphasizing the urgency of the situation.

Whoa, babe, I said I'm coming
Adding emphasis to his commitment to finding his way home.

To get you mama
Possibly referring to his mother, driving home just how important it is for him to get home.

Said I'm running
Reiterating his urgency and focus.

For you babe
Clear indication of who he's trying to reach and why.

Ooh yes, babe, I said I'm coming
Emphasizing the desire and effort involved in finding his way back home.

To get you, babe, I said I'm coming
Reiterating the goal of his journey in a different way.

Ooh, yeah
A momentary celebration of his progress in finding his way home.

Well, I've had it for now
Implying that he's had enough of being away from home.

Living on the road
Describing the tough life he's been living while away from home.

Ooh, yeah
Again, briefly celebrating his progress and success in finding his way home.

Hey, yeah
Expressing energy, excitement, and relief.

I'm finding
Reiterating his progress in finding his way home.

Well, I've had it for now
Emphasizing how over his current situation he is.

Ooh, yeah
Celebrating his progress once again.

Hey yeah
A celebratory finish to the song.
