Home- Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

"Home"

Alabama Arkansas I do love my Ma and Pa
Not the way that I do love you

Well holy moly me oh my
You’re the apple of my eye
Girl I've never loved one like you

Man o man you're my best friend
I scream it to the nothingness
There ain't nothing that I need

Hot and heavy pumpkin pie
Chocolate candy Jesus Christ
Ain't nothing please me more than you

[Chorus:]
Home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you
Home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you

La la la la
Take me home
Mama I'm coming home

I follow you into the park,
Through the jungle, through the dark
Girl I've never loved one like you

Moats and boats and waterfalls,
Alleyways and payphone calls
I been everywhere with you (that's true)

Laugh until we think we'll die,
Barefoot on a summer night
Never could be sweeter than with you

And in the streets you run afree,
Like it's only you and me,
Geeze, you're something to see.

[Chorus]

La la la la
Take me home
Mama I'm coming home

‒ Jade?
‒ Alexander?
‒ Do you remember that day you fell outta my window?
‒ I sure do ‒ you came jumping right out after me.
‒ Well, you fell on the concrete, nearly broke your ass, and you were bleeding all over the place, I rushed you out to the hospital, you remember that?
‒ Yes, I do.
‒ Well, there's something I never told you about that night.
‒ What didn't you tell me?
‒ Well, while you were sitting in the back seat smoking a cigarette you thought was gonna be your last, I was falling deep, deep in love with you, and I never told you till just now!

[Chorus]

Home, let me come home, home is wherever I'm with you
Our home, yes I'm home, home is when I’m alone with you

Alabama Arkansas I do love my Ma and Pa
Moats and boats and waterfalls,
Alleyways and payphone calls

Home is when I'm alone with you!
Home is when I’m alone with you

This song speaks to me because it talks about the kind of love that I want in my life. I want to be happy and to have a relaxed, comfortable, feeling around him. Just two best friends having the time of their lives together. Also the big theme of the song is about how home is somewhere that you just get to be with your love, enjoy each other’s company without any negativity influencing you. It’s really important to not let the negative moments get to you because they can really destroy you. Even in the most negative moments of life, like when someone is possibly dying, a silver lining should be seen. These negative moments can have huge impacts in your life. If you look through life with a negative aspect then you will take away nothing but hurt and anger. However, you can also choose to look at life and your experiences as something that is positive. The positivity can allow you to make it something that will bring the two of you closer than ever.

I've moved 12 different times causing the people around me to be made up of my home instead of the traditional four walls and a roof. Therefore, when I think of going home I think of seeing the people I love, especially those who I hold a romantic love for. This song also reminds me of my boyfriend because I'm continuously having fun with him. We are both pretty lame and don't go out clubbing or to parties. Yet growing up in Maine together we were able to do other crazy romantic things that this song reminds me of, such as running around in the woods at night and laughing at terrible jokes together.
