Home By Now Lyrics

If you wanna ride you can come out and see me I could be home by now
If you wanna ride you can come out and see me I could be home by now
When the whistle blows and we pull out slow this is where I build my home and I wait for you so patiently letting you find your own
If you wanna try you can come out and see me I could be home by now
But anywhere I am tell me you're waiting for me I could be home by now
If you wanna try you can come out and see me I could be home by now
If you wanna try you can come out and see me I could be home by now
When I am old let the tension flee I was born crying out and it's come back to me when everyone else is setting up to fall I'll just think back on it all
I'll remember long drives sitting in the back looking out at endless snow waiting in the silence if you won't spill your heart I'll chase you for the words you owe
And you know and you know and they're begging come home
And you know and you know and they're begging come home
And you know (if you wanna try) and you know and they're begging come home (I could be home by now)
And you know (if you wanna try) and you know and they're begging come home (I could be home by now)
If you wanna ride you can come out and see me I could be home by now
If you wanna ride you can come out and see me I could be home by now
If you wanna ride

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.

Beautiful song. It seems to me it could be about a long distance relationship that they didn't give a chance.
