## Lyrics

[Chorus: Sam Harris & Bebe Rexha]

Home

A place where I can go

To take this off my shoulders

Someone take me home

Home

A place where I can go

To take this off my shoulders

Someone take me home

Someone take me

[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]

Look, I didn't power through the struggle

Just to let a little trouble, knock me out of my position

And interrupt the vision

After everything I witnessed, after all of these decisions

All these miles, feet, inches

They can't add up to the distance

That I have been through, just to get to

A place where even if there's no closure, I'm still safe

I still ache from trying to keep pace

Somebody give me a sign, I'm starting to lose faith

[Pre-Chorus: Sam Harris & Machine Gun Kelly]

Now tell me: how did all my dreams turn to nightmares?

How did I lose it when I was right there?

Now I'm so far that it feels like it's all gone to pieces

Tell me why the world never fights fair

I'm trying to find

[Chorus: Sam Harris + Bebe Rexha & Machine Gun Kelly]

Home

A place where I can go

To take this off my shoulders

Someone take me home

Home

A place where I can go

To take this off my shoulders

Someone take me home

It's been a long time coming

Someone take me

[Post-Chorus: Sam Harris & Bebe Rexha]

Home, ho-o-o-o-me

Home, home

Someone take me

Home, ho-o-o-o-me

Home, home

[Verse 2: Machine Gun Kelly]

Look, I've been through so much pain

And it's hard to maintain, any smile on my face

'Cause there's madness on my brain

So I gotta make it back, but my home ain't on the map

Gotta follow what I'm feeling to discover where it's at

I need the (memory)

In case this fate is forever, just to be sure these last days are better

And if I have any (enemies)

To give me the strength to look the devil in the face and make it home safe

[Pre-Chorus: Sam Harris & Machine Gun Kelly]

Now tell me: how did all my dreams turn to nightmares?

How did I lose it when I was right there?

Now I'm so far that it feels like it's all gone to pieces

Tell me why the world never fights fair

I'm trying to find

[Chorus: Sam Harris + Bebe Rexha]

Home

A place where I can go

To take this off my shoulders

Someone take me home

Someone take me

[Bridge: Bebe Rexha + Sam Harris]

I found no cure for the loneliness

I found no cure for the sickness

Nothing here feels like home

Crowded streets, but I'm all alone

I found no cure for the loneliness

I found no cure for the sickness

Nothing here feels like home

Crowded streets, but I'm all alone

[Post-Bridge: Machine Gun Kelly, Sam Harris & Bebe Rexha]

Someone take me

Home, ho-o-o-o-me

Take me home

Home, home (take me home)

Someone take me

Home, ho-o-o-o-me (someone, someone)

Nothing here feels like home

Home, home

Someone take me
