In My Home Lyrics

Yeah, we sleep in cars
We're so far from home
Watch the sun go down
On the open road
I've been searching for this
All of my life

Then the sun will rise
We'll be driving slow
Watch the kids fly by
On their telephones
I've been racing all my life
And now I'm free, yeah-ah

Well, I know I was born for this
Every night I dreamt of it
In my home
In my home

Fast the moon approaches
and with hungry eyes
We'll be lighting torches
We'll be mesmerized
I've been burning for this
Cover of night

When the stars come out
You are stereo oh-oh-oh
Where we goin dear?
I know

Oh, I know I was born for this
Every night I dreamt of it
In my home
In my home

We are not lost
We're just searching
We are always
Always searching for home

Where we goin dear?
Bright lights
I don't know why I fear
I'm paralyzed
I'm paralyzed

In my home
In my home
We are not lost
We're just searching
We are always
Always searching for home

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.

I think this song is about the restless frenzy that life can become when you’re young. A lot of things in life are unattainable in say the first half of the terrible 20’s and you feel trapped by a society working against you, so you abandon structured life in exchange for a couch hopping/ backpacking take-what-comes kinda lifestyle. And while this is exhilarating and freeing in a sense, it’s ultimately escapism from the emptiness of not having a stable home. Hence the line “I’m paralyzed” (maybe a nod to the song “Paralysis” on the same album, which I think is about depression) The song is about riding the high of youth and the joy that fast paced life can bring, while ignoring the underlying things that might be missing. The fall from that high comes a couple songs later.
