Home Again
lauri kranz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the morning I open the shutters of my room.
And feel you smile.
I can see all the faces the traffic rushing by.
There are no parades.
Nobody at the door.
Just laughter making its way around the room.

I can't go home again.
I can't go home again.

I love you in Paris.
I love the way we move.
Like something's happening.
But it feels so much colder, and winter's coming soon.
Mama Dew's outside.
Frost is at the door.
And when we leave I feel the sting I've never felt before.

I can't go home again.
I can't go home again.

I could never leave you.
I could never leave you.
Not in Paris on this perfect afternoon.

I can't go home again.
I can't go home again.




I can't go home again.
I can't go home again

The repetition of the line "I can't go home again" seems to underscore the feeling of being trapped and unable to return to the comforts of home. The final stanza seems to be a plea to a loved one to stay by their side, although the repetition of the line "I can't go home again" seems to suggest that there is a deep sense of uncertainty and unease about what the future holds.


Overall, "Home Again"'s lyrics capture a sense of displacement, longing, and uncertainty that many people can relate to.
