Vanessa Carlton - Home Lyrics






Some people live in a house on the hill
And wish they were some place else
There's nobody there
When the evening is still
Secrets with no one to tell

Some I have known have a ship where they sleep with sounds of rocks on the coast
They sail over oceans five fathoms deep
But can't find what they want the most

Even now when I'm alone
I've always known with you
I am home

Some live in towns
Cardboard shack on concrete
All bluster and bustling life
They search for the color you can never quite see
Cause it's all white on white

Even now when I'm alone
I've always known with you
I am home
[repeat]

For me it's a glance and the smile on your face the touch of your hands,
And an honest embrace
For where I lay it's you I keep,
This changing world I fall asleep
With you all I know is I'm coming home,
Coming home

    That is THE most beautiful song that I have ever heard!

  2. M.... J....

    Great song. Moved out west coast by myself career moves after everyone i know on east family loved ones.. Rough song to play but addictive to listen to. Over* the sad lonely feelings embraced the new culture but this song was a real song.. West has the hollywood hills and wish they were somewhere else* and wishing to be back to what really mattered.. Not $, not sun, but among those u love.. Its just u have sometimes gotta progress alone** or remain in the same situation but among loved ones..its a catch 22..

  3. M.... W....

    Obsessed with this song so many years later!

    Masterpiece.

  19. S.... ....

    Amazing song. Should have been the album closer.

  20. T.... ....

    This song is so gorgeous. I found it through a beautifully made tribute to the friendships in the movie "Newsies", and have been looking for it ever since. So glad I found it. :)

    T.... ....

    Yesssss, it fits the relationships of the boys so well!

    T.... ....

    TheMormonGirl (Leesa Crakon) oh i agree! i think it's amazing how many good songs I've come across simply from watching fandom related videos. but did u see the Newsies - Dynamite? i really like that one too!

    T.... ....

    Ah, yes, I believe I have seen it! It was really cool! Have you seen the "Some Nights" one?

    T.... ....

    TheMormonGirl (Leesa Crakon) no!! ima watch it right now! have u seen the uptown funk one? so funny

    T.... ....

    I haven't! I'll have to watch it later!

  21. Z.... G....

    amazing song

  22. v.... ....

    im glad more people are now noticing her music. in 2010 and 2011, when i was obsessed with her and her music at age 14 to 15, noone else really knew her n shiet. but now, thanks to vines and social media, more people have discovered her through her infamous 1000 miles. thank golly for that

  23. H.... S....

    Never been a huge fan of hers; but damn, this girl can write a song. So many hits

    H.... S....

    love her

  24. C.... F....

    The piano solo is unbelievable

  25. C.... N....

    This song makes me so sad, I don't know why..

    C.... N....

    Because this sort of love is exceptional and oftentimes also ephemeral.

    C.... N....

    Because of whom it was written for, simple as that. But anyone listening to the song that knows the backstory and has had similar experiences can relate.

    C.... N....

    @lisaan1213 I don't know. Maybe Vanessa is such a good artist that she can convey the emotion without us knowing about any backstory. But you've made me curious nonetheless. Care to enlighten us?

    C.... N....

    Claire Nox same

  26. O.... ....

    why dosent she have more of a following? her music is totally amazing!

    O.... ....

    because nobody knows what good music is

    O.... ....

    @violetgirl1996 true

    O.... ....

    And probably because most people are afraid to listen to music from artists they practically have never heard from.

  27. m.... ....

    I'm sure it isn't what Carlton "meant," but for me this is my rescue dog's song and by extension a song for all rescued pets.

    m.... ....

    Actually, this song was written for Stephan Jenkins from 3eb, who she dated and Jenkins fans can definately hear the message, sad though it is. Although "home" can really be found anywhere, even in pets.

    marysueeasteregg awwww 💗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

  28. s.... ....

    Such a beautiful song from Vanessa Carlton I miss her I hope she comes out with more music soon

  29. V.... ....

    This is the sort of song I have to close my eyes and sit back to.  It's so incredibly beautiful.  I cannot have any distractions when I hear it, or else I'm not doing it justice.  Whenever I introduce people to this song, I instruct them to just let go of the entire world and listen to this song.  

  30. t.... ....

    this song is so goddamn beautiful i can't stand it

  31. J.... W....

    That's also the FIRST dislike of the video... wtf

  32. S.... ....

    This album reminds me of happy times. For some reason I listened to her while I was really into this one girl and chatter with her on MSN and FB For hours. Those were good times I guess.

  33. G.... ....

    2013, the ONE thumb down is still there XD

  34. S.... S....

    Love the piano solo.

  35. M.... R....

    Such a beautiful song... ;_;

  36. J.... H....

    And that is why there is only one thumbs down :)

  37. T.... P....

    @nt43609:
    *facepalm* -.-

  39. B.... d....
