Somewhere deep inside
Something's got a hold on you
And it's pushing me aside
See it stretch on forever
And I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
Stripping back the coats
Of lies and deception
Back to nothingness
Like a week in the desert
And I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
So don't say no
Don't say nothing's wrong
'Cause when you get back home
Maybe I'll be gone
It would 'cause me pain
If we were to end it
But I could start again
You can depend on it
And I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
Something's got a hold on you
And it's pushing me aside
See it stretch on forever
And I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
Stripping back the coats
Of lies and deception
Back to nothingness
Like a week in the desert
And I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
So don't say no
Don't say nothing's wrong
'Cause when you get back home
Maybe I'll be gone
It would 'cause me pain
If we were to end it
But I could start again
You can depend on it
And I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon

I think that this song is saying sorry. It is a story kinda, and he is saying that he knows that he hasn't been honest "striping back the coats of lies and deceiption" And the husband and wife are now seperated, but he is saying, come home, it is his way of saying "I love you"
