Westlife Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone,
I just want to go home
Oh I miss you, you know
And I've been keeping all the letters
That I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
I'm fine baby how are you
Well I would send them but, I know that it's it's just not enough
The words were cold and flat
And you deserve more, than that

Another airplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky, I know
But I wanna go home
I've got to go home
Let me go home
I'm just too far
From where you are
I gotta come home
Let me come home
I've had my run
Baby I'm done
I wanna come home

And I feel just like, I'm living
Someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day, has come and gone away
In either Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby I'm done
I wanna go home
Let me go home

It'll all be alright




I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

Overall Meaning

In Westlife's hit song “Home”, the singer expresses his longing to come back to his loved one. He reminisces about roaming around different, beautiful cities like Paris or Rome, but he still feels incomplete and lonely without his significant other by his side. He sings about how even when surrounded by bustling crowds of people, he still feels disconnected and just wants to go home. He details how he has been writing letters, but now realizes that they were not enough to express his true feelings, and he needs to be home with his loved one to show his affection.


Further in the song, the singer reflects upon how luck brought him many opportunities to travel and explore, but he is now exhausted and homesick. He also accepts the fact that the life he has been living was not his significant other's dream and that the other person could not come with him on his journey. The final verse acknowledges how another winter has come and gone, and the singer wants to come back home to his loved one. He assures that everything will be okay and that he will come home tonight.

Another summer day,
Has come and gone away,
In Paris and Rome,
But I want to go home,
Mmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by,
A million people I,
Still feel all alone,
I just want to go home,
Oh I miss you, you know,

And I've been keeping all the letters,
That I wrote to you,
Each one a line or two,
I'm fine, baby, how are you,
Well I would send them but,
I know that it's just not enough,
The words were cold and flat,
And you deserve more than that.

Another aeroplane,
Another sunny place,
I'm lucky, I know,
But I want to go home,
I've got to go home,

Let me go home
I'm just too far,
From where you are,
I've got to come home,
Let me go home,
I've had my run,
Baby, I'm done,
I want to come home

And I feel just like I'm living,
Someone else's life,
It's like I just stepped outside,
When everything was going right,

And I know just why you could not come along with me,
'Cause this was not your dream,
But you always believed in me,

Another winter day
Has come and gone away,
In either Paris or Rome,
And I want to go home,
I miss you, you know,

Let me go home,
I've had my run,
Baby, I'm done,
I want to go home,
Let me go home,
It'll all be alright,
I'll be home tonight,
I'm coming back home.
