Song About Home Lyrics

Could I close the door behind me
And lock myself outside alone?
Could somebody please remind me
Why this bird still hasn't flown?

To a treetop on a mountainside
Or joined an arrow in the sky
I know, I know someday I will be home

Too many dreams of my house burning
Where I'm the one who struck the match
Trying to find the meaning
A life on fire, a bird will hatch

To a treetop on a mountainside
Or join an arrow in the sky
I know, I know someday I will be home

Oh, I am not afraid of alone
No, I am not afraid of my own missteps
There's no regrets, at least not yet

Took a bus across the country
My bags were full, they weighted me down
And on that trail to California
Shed my skin in every town

To a treetop on a mountainside
And joined an arrow in the sky
I know, I know I finally found a home
I know, I know I finally found a home

For now
A home
For now...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is a really pretty song. I think it's about someone who never felt comfortable at home and wants to travel.
