But do I even want to be here
If for nothing else just to see what happens next
You can not tell me
That it won't be the same
Following the influx of so many brand new names
Enter my blood and I finally say what I want
Enter the room and it's all for nothing once again
Your back up plan backfired backlit by complacency
It's all in my mind once again
It's all in my mind once again
It's all in my mind once again
I know I can do this
But do I even want to be here
If for nothing else just to see what happens next
You can not tell me
That it won't be the same
Following the influx of so many brand new names
I'm losing my mind once again
I'm losing my mind once again
I'm losing my mind once again
I know I can do this
But I don't even want to be here
And I don't really give a fuck about what happens next
You can not tell me
That it won't be the same
Following the influx of so many brand new names

The singer suggests that they refused to hear or acknowledge the concerns of their parents and best friends, causing them to blame these individuals for caring too much about them. However, the singer acknowledges that they were "sinking down" and needed help to find a way back home.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of staying committed to the journey, even if it takes a long time, and doing so together. The repetition of "we'll run 'til we've ran forever" reinforces the idea of persistence and determination. The song highlights the value of self-awareness and accepting help from others, as demonstrated in the final verse: "And we have people surrounding us who will help mend the brokenness we feel when all we can do is sink down, down, down."
Overall, "Home" is a powerful and uplifting song that encourages listeners to keep pushing forward, even when the journey is challenging. It emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with a supportive community and acknowledges the difficulties of growing up and finding one's way in the world.
Line by Line Meaning
We put the world our of our ears
We ignored everything around us
We didn't hear, we didn't feel
We were numb to everything
When we shook off the words of our parents
We didn't listen to our parents when they tried to give us advice
And best friends we blame them for caring
We blamed our friends for caring about us when we didn't care about ourselves
About us when we were the ones sinking down, down, down
We were going through a tough time and our friends and family were trying to help, but we didn't want to listen
We'll run 'til we've ran forever
We'll keep moving forward forever
We know it's a long way home
We know it'll take a while to get to where we want to be
And if we're going then we'll go together
We won't give up and we'll do it together
Yeah, we'll take the long way home
We'll take whatever path we need to in order to reach our goal
And we have people surrounding us
We have a support system around us
Who will help mend the brokenness
They'll help us heal when we're feeling broken
We feel when all we can do is sink down, down, down
Sometimes we feel so low that we can't do anything other than feel numb
Yeah, we'll take the long way home (until we've ran forever)
We'll keep pushing ourselves until we've achieved our goal
We'll run 'til we've ran forever (until we've ran forever)
We'll keep moving forward for as long as it takes
We know it's a long way home (until we've ran forever)
We understand that it'll take time and effort to get where we want to be
And if we're going then we'll go together (until we've ran forever)
We won't give up and we'll work together towards our goal

Just one minor nitpick- although Monica and Rachel did get the Chanandler Bong question wrong, the one that lost them the apartment was “What was Chandler Bing’s Job?” It’s super minor and as always I love the video!!!
Angsa Salawat
What really is his job... have to ask the producers and directors...
M Pa
Well in the grad scheme of things it did ultimately lose them the game because if they had got that right there would be no Lightning Round.
Joy Watson
Kristin McGary I think it was actually “a transpondster” 😂
Bella Ohana Adventures
Lol I just commented with that
Enjoy Life
Also how can you check out everything in the apartment and not try to open Monica's messy closet while singing the theme song to Sanford & Son, as Chandler screamed "You're messy!"

“What is Chandler Bing’s Job?”
