Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wondering, what the world be like
I knew I had to change my mind
Didn't realize it would happen, oh, so soon, oh, so soon
But I see the world so different now
But there's a place by the sea and that's my town
When I don't know what to do
There's a room I need to sit in
Surrounded by my favorite view
And I need a hand to hold
Someone to tell the truth
Would it be okay if I came home to you?
Independence comes with a price
When questioning your own advice
But I know I'll be alright
With an open door, no matter what
I do, what I do
But I see the world so different now
But there's a place by the sea and that's my town
When I don't know what to say
When I don't know what to do
There's a room I need to sit in
Surrounded by my favorite view
And I need a hand to hold
Someone to tell the truth
Would it be okay if I came home to you?
No, I don't want to keep on coming
When I'm miles away
And you're too far away
Oh, but if I need you to remind me
That nothing has changed
Would it be okay, would it be okay for you?
And I see the world so different now
'Cause there's a place by the sea and that's my town
When I don't know what to say
When I don't know what to do
There's a room I need to sit in
Surrounded by my favorite view
And I need a hand to hold
Someone to tell the truth
Would it be okay if I came home to you?
No, would it be okay if I came home to you?

Verse 1]
Couldn't wait 'til I got outside
Wondering what the world be like
I knew I had to change my mind
Didn't realize it would happen, all so soon, all so soon
[Pre-Chorus]
But, I see the world so different now
But, there's a place by the sea and that's my town
[Chorus]
When I don't know what to say
When I don't know what to do
There's a room I need to sit in
Surrounded by my favorite view
When I need a hand to hold
Someone to tell the truth
Would it be okay if I came home to you?
[Verse 2]
Mmm
Independence comes with a price
When questioning your own advice
But I know I'll be alright
With an open door, no matter what I do, what I do
[Pre-Chorus]
Mmm, but I see the world so different now
But, there's a place by the sea and that's my town
[Chorus]
When I don't know what to say
When I don't know what to do
There's a room I need to sit in
Surrounded by my favorite view
When I need a hand to hold
Someone to tell the truth
Would it be okay if I came home to you?
[Bridge]
No, I don't wanna keep on calling
When I'm miles away
And you're too far away
Oh, but if I need you to remind me
That nothing has changed
Would it be okay, would it be okay for you?
[Pre-Chorus]
And I see the world so different now
'Cause there's a place by the sea and that's my town
[Chorus]
When I don't know what to say
When I don't know what to do
There's a room I need to sit in
Surrounded by my favorite view
When I need a hand to hold
Someone to tell the truth
Would it be okay if I came home to you?
No, would it be okay if I came home to you?

This is literally the song that describes everything that happens to me this year.
I have had my exchange year in the Netherlands from 2019-2020. Everything was going well. I can speak Dutch and start to get used to the environment, the culture and everything there. Eventhough there are indeed a lot of hard times, but the wonderful moments that I also had there is priceless. But because of Covid-19, I have to travel back to my home country. I have four months left there. I have no choice but to travel back to where I'm from. And because I'm an Asian, I had a lot of hard time staying there during the time that covid-19 start spreading there. There are still a lot of things that I want to do or a lot of people who I want to spend the rest of the time with before we will never meet again. however, the situation happened so sudden that I even didn't have anytime to say goodbye to all the people who I met and spend time with. I have never thought that the moment when we met is the last moment I'll get to spend with them. It's very sad and it's not the way that I expected my exchange year will end like this. I literally listened to this song and cried during on the flight back.
But still, when I arrive at my home country, I also meet people who I love, my family, my friends, and a lot more. Life still goes on. What have happened is already amazing. I've got a lot of precious memories there.
I still keeping in touch with people that I met there. Hoping that one day, we will get to see each other again.
I'm happy that at least, I've got an opportunity to have this experience, an exchange year. I've got to meet and know all of these nice people, got to learn a new language, learn about other cultures, new aspects. I'm really appreciated this journey.
This song just basically reminds me that life goes on and there'll be people whom you love waiting for you. All those miles you have traveled, all of those experiences that taught you, makes you grow. All of those memories will be kept in your heart forever.
Thanks Sigrid. I really love this song. It shares a lot of memories in it. Thank you.

imagine sitting on a plane listening to this song, thinking of the all the miles you've travelled, all the storms you've been through, and all the baggage you've been carrying, then the lights come on and you've reached your destination:
a seaside town, the ocean breeze in your hair, the sunset illuminating the sky in pink and orange hues, and then home.
home where your husband and daughter are waiting for you, in your place by the sea,
and finally, after years of being lost,
you've finally come home.
