The second single for Tyler Shaw’s self-titled studio album. The music video premiered on January 14, 2021, with Parade magazine. In a statement, he said:
This is one of my favorite songs that I have ever written. ‘When You’re Home’ is about having security in the person you love. Home can be where...
[Verse 1]
The ghosts
That live in the walls
They watch us dance
Our living room waltz
Skin
Protects and it binds
I feel yours on mine
And I know I'm home
[Pre-Chorus]
Spinning, spinning 'round
Trust me to catch you and I'll
I'll dip you down
[Chorus]
We'll make a palace of this apartment
The best thing of all, it's only just started and I know
When you're home, I’m home
Stars through the window, they light up our disco
It's just you and I, the two of us starring in this show
We'll never be alone
'Cause when you're home, I'm home
[Verse 2]
In the light
Of some video game
You whisper my name
And I'll pull you close
[Pre-Chorus]
Spinning, spinning 'round
We'll never sleep 'cause we
Are royalty now
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Chorus]
We'll make a palace of this apartment
The best thing of all, it's only just started and I know
When you're home, I’m home
Stars through the window, they light up our disco
It's just you and I, the two of us starring in this show
We'll never be alone
'Cause when you're home, I'm home
[Bridge]
I don't need anything more (No, ooh-woah, ooh-woah, woah)
Home, four feet or three to the floor
[Chorus]
We'll make a palace of this apartment
The best thing of all, it's only just started and I know
When you're home, I’m home
Stars through the window, they light up our disco
It's just you and I, the two of us starring in this show
We'll never be alone
'Cause when you're home, I'm home
Oh, oh, oh-oh
[Outro]
'Cause when you're home, I'm home
