Songwriter Jordi James said at San Cisco’s October/November 2020 Triple J Live at the Wireless that this song is “about a breakup with [his] first love”.
[Verse 1]
Does love drift away
A little bit every day?
While you wait
While you shake me down
I can pick out you
I know the way you move
In the evening light
You're wearing lavender tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
You're drifting miles away
When I get home, will you still feel the same?
[Chorus]
When I feel alone
I think of home, I think of home with you
When I feel alone
I think of home, the lavender light and you
[Verse 2]
Does love drift away
A little bit every day?
While you wait
You can shake me down
I wanna feel your love and hold you in my hands
'Cause you're the only one that truly understands
Late-night calls, making love on the phone
I'm hanging up, honey, and coming home
[Chorus]
When I feel alone
I think of home, I think of home with you
When I feel alone
I think of home, the lavender light and you
[Bridge]
I remember everything that you said
How love's elastic
Pulls me back to pink sunsets
You're drifting miles away
When I get home, will you still feel the same?
[Chorus]
When I feel alone
I think of home, I think of home with you
When I feel alone
I think of home, the lavender light and you
When I feel alone
I think of home, I think of home with you
When I feel alone
I think of home, the lavender light and you
When I feel alone
I think of home, I think of home with you
