Coming Home Lyrics

Cover art for Coming Home lyrics by Alter Bridge

Here's my attempt:

Verse 1: The singer realizes that someone at home has been right all these years about something.

Verse 2: Aspiring stars (musical artists, in particular) eventually fall, and the singer needs to return home before it's too late and he is not welcomed there any more.

Verse 3: The singer is afraid of how things at home may have changed, since he has been gone so long.

Verse 4: The singer realizes that all he truly wanted was his family/home and not being a famous/wealthy/etc. superstar.

The rest of the song is fairly self-explanatory, I think. In general, I think the song says that we shouldn't take our homes/families for granted, because they will be there for us in the future when other things aren't: "We come to find What we take for granted Keeps us alive in the end

So don't let time Leave you empty handed. Reach out tonight and make amends"
