I never really listened to the lyrics of the song until I started to do this post. I just loved the melody of the song, which is what I usually focused on. The song is calming with its simplicity but also has a depressing sound to it, which now makes sense after finally reading the lyrics. I believe this song is about someone in a relationship who loves the person he is with but there is still something missing in his life. He is moving away to find whatever it is and to create a new life. Throughout the song he recognizes the fact that he will be leaving the one he loves. He sings, “ I hope your heart will be where my home is.” Even though he is literally moving to a new home, it will never have the same comfort and meaning without her. The lyrics like the melody are bittersweet. There is hope in this new life that he needs to make for himself but his decision comes with costs.
