“The Walk Home” conveys a sense of being lost and alone, a longing for connection, and a plea for someone to accompany the narrator on their journey through life. The lyrics explore themes of identity, companionship, and finding solace in shared experiences.
[Verse 1]
Is anyone out there listening?
I’ve lost myself
Deep in the algorithm of someone else
And under new conditions
I might find that I was always perfectly alone
[Chorus]
Can somebody walk me home?
To pearly gates
The universe becomes a wave
And crashes down
Forever’s not enough
And under new conditions
You are not alone
[Refrain]
Can somebody walk me home?
Can somebody walk me home?
[Verse 2]
Is anyone out there listening?
I’ve lost myself
But there is a song that echoes like morning bells
And as a distant memory shoots right through me
I am left so perfectly alone
[Chorus]
Can somebody walk me home?
To pearly gates
The universe becomes a wave
And crashes down
Forever’s not enough
And under new conditions
We are not alone
[Post-Chorus]
And when I get better someday
I’ll see myself in you
The way it’s always been
And under new conditions
I might find that
We will always walk each other home
[Refrain]
Can somebody walk me home?
Can somebody walk me home?
Can somebody walk me home?
Can somebody walk me home?
