the lead guitar riff in this song is fucking amazing. furthermore, i love how it disappears in the middle of the song but comes back towards the end (after the numerous repetitions of "it could be home"). nice touch; great composition!
my impression of the song's meaning: the persona longs to be with someone, as suggested by the ff lines:
"i want to be with you...", ...
"the East ain't so far away, but it could be home to you & me," ...
"'come back, come back home to me,' i'm just waiting until you say those words," ...
furthermore, "come -back- home to me" imply that they used to live together (more specifically, they used to share a home). the persona is probably longing for somebody who decided to leave. how sad.
and oh, the lead guitar is so awesome. just had to say that again...
