About This Track

'Home' by Foo Fighters is a 2007 alternative track from the album 'Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace'. The lyrics speak from a restless, displaced perspective, wishing they could stay with someone while every direction seems to pull them away. There is a pleading, prayerful sense of endurance, paired with the longing to return to a place of safety and shelter, away from cold and pain, with a focus on being protected from the rain. One guiding refrain frames it as a desire “to be home”. The mirror image suggests self-scrutiny without escape, as the search for cover becomes the emotional centre.

"Home" is a single by Foo Fighters, from the album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, released 24th September 2007. The track is 4:53 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 18 articles about Foo Fighters.

Lyrics

Home

Wish I were with you, but I couldn't stay
Every direction leads me away
Pray for tomorrow but for today
All I want
Is to be home
Stand in the mirror, you look the same
Just looking for shelter from the cold and the pain
Someone to cover safe from the rain
And all I want
Is to be home
The echoes and silence, patience and grace
All of these moments I'll never replace
No fear of my heart, absence of faith
And all I want
Is to be home
Mm
All I want
Is to be home
People I've loved, I have no regrets
Some I remember, some I forget
Some of them livin', some of them dead
And all I want
Is to be home
