go home
d.murray / m.oles / b.oles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sailing on a sinking ship
Into the sunset in day
Dark night on a long highway
Little lights in the houses say
There's somebody staying up late
Whoa-oh
Oh yeah, you know I will
I'll be true to you forever or until
I go home
God, it's great to be alive
Takes the skin right off my hide
To think I'll have to give it all up someday
And if I ever treated you mean
You know that it was only because
I'm sorry I couldn't have you for my own
Whoa-oh
I'll be true to you
Oh yeah, you know I will
I'll be true to you forever or until
I go home
I go home
I, I, I, I go home
I, I, I, I go home
I, I, I, I go home
The lyrics of "Go Home" seem to describe the singer's experience of feeling lost and uncertain about their present situation, as if they are stranded on a sinking ship, slowly sailing into the sunset. The repetition of "Whoa-oh" in the chorus highlights this feeling of instability and confusion. However, even amid this uncertainty, the singer reaffirms their commitment to the person they love, promising to always be true to them.
The second verse of the song takes a slightly different turn, with the singer grappling with the concept of mortality and the inevitability of death. Despite this heavy subject matter, there is a sense of wonder and appreciation for life, with the singer declaring that "it's great to be alive", even though they know that everything must come to an end.
Towards the end of the song, the singer addresses their lover directly, apologising for any past mistakes and expressing regret that they couldn't be together. The repetition of "I go home" at the end of the song could be interpreted in different ways - perhaps it refers to the singer's eventual return to their loved one, or maybe it signifies a deeper desire to find peace and comfort in their own home.
