home with you Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm so wired, fought it, seen it, tried it
I die for you on my terms
When I get my lessons learned
Apples, cherries, pain
Breathe in, breathe out, pain
No, no, Novocaine
Still maintain my grace
[Pre-Chorus]
How come the more you have, the more that people want from you?
The more you burn away, the more the people earn from you
The more you pull away, the more that they depend on you
I've never seen a hero like me in a sci-fi
So I wonder if your needs are even meant for me
I wonder if you think that I could never raise you up
I wonder if you think that I could never help you fly
Never seen a hero like me in a sci-fi
But I'd save a life if I thought it belonged to you
Mary Magdalene would never let her loved ones down
[Chorus]
I didn't know that you were lonely
If you'd have just told me, I'd be home with you
I didn't know that you were lonely
If you'd have just told me, I'd be running down the hills to you
[Verse 2]
When I visualize, all I see is black (Onyx)
Ground me to the floor, just a little more (Get it, onyx)
I know I've been gone, you've been all alone
Stoking up the fire for you
Set the place alight, call me late at night
And I'll be running home to you
[Chorus]
I didn't know that you were lonely
If you'd have just told me, I'd be home with you
I didn't know that you were lonely
If you'd have just told me, I'd be running down the hills to be with you
If you had told me, I'd be running down the hills to be with you
I'd be running down the hills to be with you
And I'd have told you I was lonely too

What did FKA twigs say about "home with you"?
I find things like that interesting in the studio, just to play around and bring together two completely different genres—like Elton John chords and a hip-hop riff. That’s what ‘home with you’ was for me: It’s a ballad and it’s sad, but then it’s a bop as well, even though it doesn’t quite ever give...
What inspired this song?
The inspiration behind “Home With You” is when, for me it was about when my life was very chaotic at the time, and I felt like I was just sort of holding on by a thread. But at the same time, it was at a point in my life, and in my career where everything seemed on the outside like it was all togeth...
What is your songwriting process like?
I think that my process changes each time. I personally feel like the music that I enjoy the most longterm, is something that happens within half an hour to an hour. So when we’re talking about things like “Water Me” or “Two Weeks” or “Cellophane,” “Pendulum,” the things that for me as an artist tha...
