No need to be here anymore
My door to heaven's finally come
Can't stick around for the parade
It's time to end this fool's crusade

This is what I waited for
Take this home for me, take this home for me
Shake my hand, for I will go
Take this home for me, take this home for me

I'll climb the ladder to the door
Peer inside to watch the show
And cleanse this world off of my skin
For then I've found what lies within

This is what I waited for
Take this home for me, take this home for me
Shake my hand, for I will go
Take this home for me, take this home for me

(I have seen the revelations
Seen the gardens of faith
I could tell you such stories
That I snatched from the grave)

Ballast undone
And free to go
Unnecessarily flawed my soul

(I can leave)

(Yeah)
I've watched me coming down
On the way of eternity
So why am I not quite at ease?

This I have been waiting for?
Take this home for me, take this home for me
Take my hand and take me home
Take this home for me, take this home for me

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
