Quite Miss Home

James Arthur

I'm in the kitchen while you smoke outside
You're careful not to let the smoke inside
I always tell you it's poison
But I know it helps you take the edge off the day
We get a drink before it's closing time
The one on high street with the blinking sign
All these memories feel poignant
I won't be there to see the snow melt away

Oh
Yeah, I been gone on business
I gotta make some money
I really feel the distance

And I quite miss home
And I miss you telling me
To leave my shoes at the door
'Cause you just swept the floor
And the dirt drives you crazy
Yeah, I quite miss home
'Cause it feels like poetry
When the rain falls down on the window
While you're in my arms
And we're watching the TV
Yeah, I quite miss home
Yeah, I quite miss home

I smell you cooking from the living room
And then I tell you that I love your food
I know it doesn't come easy
But you know it reminds me where I'm from

Whoa
I'm in another city
I got nobody with me
And it just really hit me

That I quite miss home
And I miss you telling me
To leave my shoes at the door
'Cause you just swept the floor
And the dirt drives you crazy
Yeah, I quite miss home
'Cause it feels like poetry
When the rain falls down on the window
While you're in my arms
And we're watching the TV
Yeah, I quite miss home
Yeah, I quite miss home

And I quite miss home
Yeah, I miss you telling me
To leave my shoes at the door
'Cause you just swept the floor
And the dirt drives you crazy
Oh, I just miss home, no, no
'Cause it feels like poetry
As the rain falls down on the window
While you're in my arms
And we're watching the TV
Oh, I miss home
Yeah, I quite miss home, no
Oh, I quite miss home
Yeah
Yeah, I quite miss home

    My Interpretation\'I\'ve been gone on business. I gotta make some money. I really feel the distance\' shows that he\'s on a business trip and he\'s missing the person he loves who is back home. He keeps thinking about the little things in their relationship that clearly meant a lot to him, even something as little as going to a bar with \'the blinking sign\' one night.\nHe wants to come back to her. He wants to walk into the house with his shoes on and for her to tell him to "leave your shoes at the door, cause I\'ve just swept the floor and the dirt drives me crazy". \nWhen it refers to the rain hitting the window with her in his arms watching the TV being poetry, being sheltered from the rain actually gives people a sense of protection and security, therefore comparing it to the feeling poetry can give someone.\n\nOverall, this song really explores the themes of love and how when you love someone so much, all these memories, no matter how important or how insignificant compared to the bigger scheme of things they are, they\'re always there. Reminding us that the one we love the most is the hardest to forget.
