Home Lyrics
I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.
Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life YOU chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.
The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love, it makes true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.
So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.
Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life YOU chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love, it makes true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.

'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.

You just might get it all, yeah.
Back to the place where I belong,

I'm going home.

I agree with theyellowpoppy. This song is all about God. 'specially "where your love has always been enough for me."
Does anyone think this song could be about suicide???

No I do Not think it's about suicide at all. I think it's about Chris Daughtry leaving American Idol after he didn't win First Place. I think he Definitely should have won, but he didn't to my surprise. Anyway, when he left he could say, "I'M GOING HOME TO THE PLACE WHERE I BELONG. WHERE YOUR LOVE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ENOUGH FOR ME (His Girlfriend's Love). NOT RUNNING FROM (Not running away from American Idol) NO I THINK YOU GOT ME ALL WRONG. I DON'T REGRET THIS LIFE I CHOSE FOR ME (Becoming a...

BUT THESE PLACES AND THESE FACES ARE GETTING OLD (American Idol People). SO I'M GOING HOME. (Back to where I belong and Become a Rock Star in my Home Town & make it Famous along with Myself).!!!
My dad passed away june 2, 2007 and my uncle made a memory myspace for him. he chose that song because it was so inspirational to us all. my dad was a very sad lonely person and he felt like nobody loved him. he felt like he didn't belong. "So I'm going home, back to a place where I belong, and your love has always been enough for me." Yea its a total god thing idc what anyone says about it. I love you dad..
@1hardhabit2break, that is a touching story. it brought a tear to my eye. sorry for ur loss

In my opinion, it's simple: it's about death, aka "home", though we can make songs mean what we want us to mean. I say i have to agree with Kyle saying it could be about suicide and with 1hardhabittobreak about his father (r.i.p). Many people, usually when dying or at someone's deathbed use the term "Home" as reference to eternal sleep, since visualizing or being at home tends to give us a feeling of peace. think about the lyrics, and how writers use references:
staring out into the night (usually means deathbed); love and feeling good never cost a thing (happiness in the afterlife); my pain is a different kind of pain (not mortal, spiritual).
And where your love has always been enough for me (probably a reference to a Higher Being, maybe Chris felt like doing a Christian song); I'm not running from. No, I think you got me all wrong. I don't regret this life I chose for me (some people often regret certain things in life to blame for mistakes).
The miles are getting longer, it seems, The closer I get to you (probably the feeling of leaving this earth, but dying slowly); I've not always been the best man or friend for you, But your love, it makes true. (many people do not have any religious beliefs, or "fight" their deities until the very end).
And I don't know why. You always seem to give me another try (I don't know about others, but many religions believe G-d loves you, and will always be there for you when you are ready to commit to him, and will always forgive you if you love him back.
Be careful what you wish for,'Cause you just might get it all. You just might get it all, And then some you don't want. (this is very true, specially when people face some tough times, and whish they would. Well...be careful what you wish for, because you'll get it, and sometimes it is something you didn't want.)
*Well, although I do not believe i'm correct, I do believe the meaning for this song is about dying and go to your happy place. Let me know if that's what you guys think.
If this song doesn't touch you, you have no soul.
@Music is cool, that is the truest truth ever spoken by humanity.

Becarful for what you whish for beacuse u just might get it all. and some u don't want.
I LOVE IT!!!
I love this song! Now that I read the lyrics, it sounds like a man out in the war getting to come home. Just an awesome song ^__^
its the PERFECT exit song for AI!!
It sounds like a guy who's mother doesn't approve of his career (maybe as a musician who travels a lot). His mother knows that eventually he's going to get tired of traveling around and he's just going to want to come back home. Now he's coming home, but he's too stubborn to acknowledge that his mother was right so he just says that "these faces and places were getting old"
I'm not running from. No, I think you got me all wrong. I don't regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old,
Maybe I see iut form my point of view but to me its abouyt the boys overseas fighting for us getting to come home to there loved ones..i know everytime i hear this song it makes me think of my hubby over there
@armywifey, my respect 2 ur husband. i thank him for his service
