This song is about coming home again after being away for a long time, hoping that nothing has changed, and that they can make up for lost time. These lyrics relate well to the story of Penelope and Odysseus when he returned from his 20 year absence to see her. Odysseus tries to convince Penelope that it is him and nothing has changed and he has missed her. Finally they rekindle their relationship at the end when they lie together to make up for their time away from each other.

I’ve been stuck in this whirlwind
My life’s been spinning round my head
Long distance conversations
Make up for me not being there
And now I’m coming home
I’m coming home to you again
I hope you feel the same
Now I’m coming home
I’m coming home to you again
I hope things haven’t changed
Singin’
I’ve been locked inside this freight train
Unaware of the normal life I had
Frustration building a foundation
I wrote this song to let you know that I’ll be back
Screamin’
I hope you feel the same
I can’t stop, can’t stop thinking
About what you do when you’re alone
Let’s cut right to the chase girl
Take back the time, time that we’ve lost, time we’ve lost
Listen to the song:
Coming Home
