For me, the song feels like it is about insecurity and recognizing one's own flaws. It almost sounds like, in a way, he is telling her that he is a "rough boy", meaning he has some flaws but owns up to them.

"It's just a song about coming home" The clues are right there in the lyrics, as written by the magnificent and talented Tracy Thorne. Imagine living your life on the road most of your days, and yet wondering if you could be just as happy, living in once place. The familiarity and comfort of 'home' wherever that is.... And yet knowing your life is always somewhere else, on the road.

This is an absolute gem. The longing is palpable in the words. Only E.B.T.G. could make it this simple and beautiful.

Back in the Day

To me, this song is about someone that's felt isolated and depressed for so long, and finally they've broken out of their misery and into the world. They 'want to see people and want to see life'. Finally they're out there, living it up, but they're scared that the moment's going to end and so they want to die there and then, at their happiest. Such a bittersweet song.

I described that pretty badly and rambled a lot, but that's my interpretation. I absolutely adore this song. It definitely makes my all time top ten favourites.
