I Wanna Stay Home Lyrics

When You Need Someone
And There's No One There
There Is Always The 9 O'clock
To Take You Out Somewhere

I Take The Train In Town
Like I did For Years
There Is Only 7 More Blocks
I Could Walk From Here

I Wanna Stay Home
I Wanna Stay Home Right Here
I Wanna Stay Home Today
I Wanna Stay

It's Only 6 O'clock
When My Day Begins
There Is Always My Alarm Clock
To Wake Me Up Again

I Wanna Stay Home
I Wanna Stay Home Right Here
I Wanna Stay Home Today
I Wanna Stay

When I Reealize The Weight
That's Firmly On My Shoulders
I Just Try And Find The Place
I Can Take A Walk On My Blind Side

When These Memories Fade
In My Ripe Old Age
Please Remember My Dear

I Wanna Stay Home
I Wanna Stay Home Right Here
I Wanna Stay Home Today
I Wanna Stay

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.

From the lyrics the song could be about an ordinary person who lives in a small boring town. He insists that home is all he cares about as the town offers nothing else.

That, or it's Monday again :P

I think this is someone isolating himself after a relationship has ended. "if you need someone and there's no one there"...and then suggests not calling on him, but going out somewhere. There is no connection between the narrator and that person referred to in the first verse.

Weight on his shoulders, fading memories as he gets older. He's pining for a lost love and regretting the end of a relationship. That's how I read it, anyway.
