Already Home Lyrics
You say love is what you put into it
You say that I'm losing my will
Don't you know that you're all that I think about?
You make up a half of the whole
You say that it's hard to commit to it
You say that it's hard standing still
Don't you know that I spend all my nights
Counting backwards the days until I'm home?
If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise the city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home
I say that we're right in the heart of it
A love only we understand
I will bend every light in this city
And make sure they're shining on you
If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise the city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home
When life takes its own course
Sometimes we just don't get to choose
I'd rather be there next to you
Promise you'll wait for me, wait for me
Wait until I'm home
All I have is this feeling inside of me
The only thing I've ever known
If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise the city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home
If only New York wasn't so far away
I will be there every step of the way
When you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home
Just know that I'm already home
You say that I'm losing my will
Don't you know that you're all that I think about?
You make up a half of the whole
You say that it's hard standing still
Don't you know that I spend all my nights
Counting backwards the days until I'm home?
I promise the city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home
A love only we understand
I will bend every light in this city
And make sure they're shining on you
I promise the city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home
Sometimes we just don't get to choose
I'd rather be there next to you
Promise you'll wait for me, wait for me
Wait until I'm home
The only thing I've ever known
I promise the city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home
I will be there every step of the way
When you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home
Just know that I'm already home

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
This is the sort of song that can have a few meanings but I think the primary one to take out of it - at least the one that I take out of it - is that irregardless of where life's relationships take you, no matter what, you always have the person that loves you waiting at home for you.
That no matter where you have to travel, no matter the distance you may be from the person you love for whatever reason, there's always a way to ensure you're there for the person in other ways.
It boils down to the simple fact that if you're willing to put in the hard yards and invest in a relationship wholeheartedly, distance means nothing. Whether that distance is long-term or short-term, it doesn't matter. Essentially, the idea that you have a desire to make it succeed and last and cherish the moments you have when you are together, make the suspense and waiting that much more worthwhile.
Nice little song.
such a nice song.
