My Home - Thousand Foot Krutch

This place is many things... but i'd never... call it home, its just a building in a city,
everywhere, i go, this place is many things... but i can't call it home, home is the voice that
i hear, every night on the phone, and ive done a few things, i wasn't proud of, might have said
a few things, that hurt you, but you're still the only one who fills me up, and every night
spent alone, was worth it.

[chorus]
you are my home, you are my everything, when i feel so alone, you are my home, you are my
shelter... when all my hope is gone

and i've seen many tings... but they don't look like home, they're just the bright lights from
a city flowing all night long, and ive seen many faces, but they all look the same, home is the
place you are and i just wanna let you know that i've done a few things, i wasn't proud of,
might have said a few things that hurt you, but you're still the only one who fills me up, and
all tears that we've shared were worth it.

you are my home, you are my everything, when i feel so alone, you are my home, you are my
shelter... when all my hope is gone, you are my home, you are my everything, when i feel so
alone, you are my heart, you are the one... when it all comes undone, when it all comes undone,
when it all comes undone



Trevor McNevan, lead singer of TFK, in his interview on the bonus DVD included with their latest CD The Flame in All of Us, said that he wrote this song for his wife. They travel a ton on tours and stuff, and he wrote this song about how much he misses her when he's away, and how she is his home, where he is complete and safe. He said that if the listeners and fans want to use this song in reference to God, that's fine, but this is their first shot at a blatent love song.

Taking it either way, as a love song to a girl, or a song of devotion to God... either way, the song gives me shivers, and I love it. The lyrics are powerful and well thought out.
