Celebrate (Acoustic version) Lyrics

I wanna come home
To the only place I know
Where the trees I planted grow
I wanna come home

Once I get up I feel better
Then I pull myself together
I remember those two letters
It will be o.k.

Everyone says 'now or never'
I say 'only if it's better'
Be a night like this forever
Will we know better

I want the whole world to celebrate
I want the whole world to celebrate
I want the whole world to celebrate

I'll be just fine
When I see you at the finish line
Doesn't matter if I take my time
I'm coming home

Once I get up I feel better
And I pull myself together
I remember those two letters
It will be o.k.

Everyone says 'now or never'
I say 'only if it's better'
Be a night like this forever
Will we know better

I want the whole world to celebrate
I want the whole world to celebrate
I want the whole world to celebrate
I want the whole world to celebrate

I want the whole world to celebrate

You pick me up, I become your china boy
You let me go, a million pieces on the floor
You clean me up, leave me for the world to see
But did you know, it was you that set me free

You pick me up, I become your china boy
You let me go, a million pieces on the floor
You clean me up, leave me for the world to see
But did you know, it was you that set me free

Once again if I feel better
Then I pull myself together
I remember those two letters
It will be o.k.

Everyone says 'now or never'
I say 'only if it's better'
Be a night like this forever

I wanna come home
I wanna come home
I wanna come home
To celebrate
I want the whole world to celebrate
I'll get the whole world to celebrate

I become your china boy
I'm coming home

To the only place I know
Where the trees I planted grow
I wanna come home

Once I get up I feel better

When I see you at the finish line
Doesn't matter if I take my time
I'm coming home

Once I get up I feel better
And I pull myself together

I wanna come home
I wanna come home
To celebrate
I want the whole world to celebrate
I'll get the whole world to celebrate

I become your china boy

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.

Cover art for Celebrate (Acoustic version) lyrics by Mika

by Absmin

12y ago

Just an interpretation according to me.

"I wanna come home" I want to go my place of comfort. "To the only place I know" To the place I can be myself. "Where the trees I planted grow" Where the things I've done matter, where I am remembered, where I'm loved. "I wanna come home" That's home; I want to go home.

"Once I get up I feel better" When I pick myself up, I feel better. "Then I pull myself together" Shake off the pain, get hold of myself. "I remember those two letters" "It will be o.k." I remember those words, "it will be ok."

"Everyone says 'now or never'" Everyone's like 'YOLO' "I say 'only if it's better'" But I say, only if it's beneficial. "Be a night like this forever" If it was like this forever... "Will we know better" will people start to know better?

"I want the whole world to celebrate" (x3) I want everyone to be happy. I want everyone to celebrate no matter what they're going through.

"I'll be just fine" I'll be fine... "When I see you at the finish line" when I see you overcome too. "Doesn't matter if I take my time" Doesn't matter if I'm slow. "I'm coming home" I'm will get there; home.

"You pick me up, I become your china boy" I let you have my trust (or love or something else that's precious), I became as fragile as china (glassware) in your hands. "You let me go, a million pieces on the floor" You broke my trust (or other precious thing), watched me fall and get hurt (break into a million pieces). "You clean me up, leave me for the world to see" You treated my pain like it was nothing, like I was making a big deal out of nothing, like I was nothing important, like trash (swept up my broken pieces and threw it in the trash). Everyone who saw me looked down on me too (everyone would see me, the pieces of me in the trash). "But did you know, it was you that set me free" But I learnt from you, from what you did to me. You set me free from that fragile 'china' nature. I'm free, I'm strong.

Just a personal interpretation. Thank you Mika, you're a talented, beautiful, artist.
