Stay Home
The band called Oh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there's nowhere I need to be
Maybe we should go out?
The guys were talking
‘Bout a place that we could meet
‘Bout a gig that we should peek
Maybe we should go out?
Or maybe we should
Stay home, stay home
If you wanna
Stay home, stay home
If you wanna slow down,
If you wanna slow down
Spend the night in flight mode
Keep our shoulders low, and you know:
There's no thing that we need to attend to
Maybe we should go out?
Or maybe we should
Cruise down the bay, ‘cause you know what they say:
When the sun doesn't set at all
It's time for us to go out
So, maybe we should go out?
Or maybe we should
Stay home, stay home
If you wanna
Stay home, stay home
If you wanna slow down,
If you wanna slow down
You know I like showing up
Showing up late, showing you off
Coming in to the club and it's like
Everybody's got their eyes on my girl, and I'm like
Fuck yeah, fuck yeah
Like everybody's got their eyes on my girl, and I'm like
Fuck yeah, fuck yeah
But you can keep your sweatpants on
We can break the law tonight
Dont put on no make up
Just want you to bake up
Cause popcorn time is right
Stay home, stay home
If you wanna
Stay home, stay home
If you wanna slow down,
If you wanna slow down
Then maybe we should
Stay home, stay home
If you wanna
Stay home, stay home
If you wanna slow down,
If you wanna slow down
The Band Called Oh's song "Stay Home" explores the tug-of-war between the desire to go out and the blissful satisfaction of staying in. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of conflicting emotions and desires that many people can relate to. The song begins with the lead singer stating that time is moving slowly, and there's nowhere they need to be. Yet, the guys are talking about a gig they could attend. The lyrics suggest that there are two options - to stay home or go out.
The first verse conveys the idea that staying home can be a refreshing break from the chaos of everyday life. The singer suggests that they could "spend the night in flight mode" and "keep our shoulders low." The chorus reinforces the same message - if you want to slow down, stay home. However, the lead singer also expresses the appeal of going out and showing off their significant other. In the second verse, he acknowledges the excitement of being the center of attention and the pride that comes with it.
The final verse brings the song full circle, reminding the listener that staying in can be just as fun and exciting as going out. The singer ends the song by saying: "you can keep your sweatpants on, we can break the law tonight, don't put on no makeup, just want you to bake up, cause popcorn time is right." The lyrics convey the message that sometimes staying in can be just as thrilling as going out.
