Stands and gears, oh how the daisies bloom
When chandeliers light up the engine room
Can you feel the drops as it starts to rain
There's an underwater Ferris wheel where
I found the missing link to this island chain

Home will always be here unseen, out of sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly

Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach

Home will always be here, unseen, out of sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly

I'll spread my wings and fly

Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach

    Song Meaning

    I get the feeling that this song is about... leaving somewhere, one's birthplace most likely, but knowing that no matter wherever you go, the place you leave will always and unconditionally be your home.

    "Home will always be here, unseen, out of sight, where I disappear and hide" means to me that the speaker is embarking on some kind of trip that will take him to far places, and yet he can always rely on this place to be somewhere safe, where he can rest.

    "And I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye, so I'll spread out my wings and fly" seems to say that the singer is a child that understands that he has to leave one day. However, he will always have fond memories of the place, and when he spreads his wings he will "fly" and make a new path for himself.

    But in the end... he'll never forget home, no matter how far it is.
