Already Home--Thousand Foot Krutch

Lyrics:

Vs1) The trouble with truth is it never lies
And the trouble with wrong's that it's never right
So I rest my head under your light
The trouble with peace is it never fights
And the trouble with love's that it's always blind
I wanna' walk to the edge of it tonight
And I fall down
Chs) I am on my knees
'Cause you're everything I need
And I've made a mess of myself
On my own
And now I am on my face
And I'm calling out your name
And I won't run away
'Cause I'm already home
Vs2) The trouble with tears is that they dry
And the trouble with this made me wanna' cry
I've never felt so much like I'm alive
I wanna'
Open my eys and see your face
If I have to wait a thousand days
To still be right here, right next to you
And I fall down
Chs) I am on my knees
'Cause you're everything I need
And I've made a mess of myself
On my own
And now I am on my face
And I'm calling out your name
And I won't run away
'Cause I'm already home
And I won't run away
I won't run away
I won't run away
'Cause I'm already home
Bridge) And I know
I haven't
Always been
Where you wanted me
Standing here
Arms out
Broken down
Before you
I know
I havent
Always been
Where you wanted me
Standing here
Arms out
Broken down
Chs) I am on my knees
'Cause you're everything I need
And I've made a mess of myself
On my own
And now I am on my face
And I'm calling out your name
And I won't run away
'Cause I'm already home

Meaning:

This is a very peaceful song to me, and it speaks a lot to my heart. That first chorus I think you can take a number of ways. But the way I'm going to explain is that nothing is perfect. In our life, it's like we need this sort of balance with good and bad. And we can't have too much of one thing (like peace of love or wrong) or else it isn't proper to us. It is too confusing and something we can't put our faith in or else we'll find ourselves on the brink of insanity. The only thing that is worth counting on is God. But the chorus is the explanation of exactly that: God is what we need. The singer says that he's made mistakes before and messed up his life, and he is calling out to God because God is home. God is safety in the storm; shelter for the homeless; food for the weak...He contains all sanctity and preciousness and love. We fall on our knees, on our face, to call for God because we know how broken we are. And we won't run away because there is nowhere else good enough to run to. I think the second verse is a little happier. The singer's tears are a symbol of his happiness, and he is saying that he just wants to be with God because it is what makes him more alive than anything he's every experienced. The bridge states that we aren't always going to be right on the mark, but we'll still be before God. And that is all that matters. We are forgiven and loved, and it won't make a difference how many times we screw it up. God will always be there, in our hearts, where true home lies.
