I'll Get You Home
By The Coast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′ll get you home
When you are tired
Stand next to you
When you're in the fire
I′ll get you home

I'll tell the truth
When I'd rather lie
I′d rather be known
Than keep it inside

I′ll get you home
Never leave you alone
And I will get you home

If I could before
The sorrows we'd see
I′d love you again
I'd feel everything

I′ll get you home
Never leave you alone
And I will get you home

You will see a light
If you get too far
If you get too far from home
You will see a light
If you get too far
If you get too far from home
From home





I'll get you home
When you are tired

You'll be remembered forever, Lee.

My cat passed away today, she was 18 years old, she died of natural causes. I used this song to say goodbye to her on my Instagram stories, this song made me remember all our beautiful moments throughout all these years. Thank you for making this song that helps me express what I can't say with words. God bless you, guys! 💜

@tigerzero5216

I can't like your comment enough. I've been through that loss. 18 years for you! Mine? She was 16. That was before this song was here. So my sadness is not connected to this song. I can see how it connects with you. For my loss. That was so hard. I don't want to experience that again. No more pets. Yet! there is a stray black cat girl that comes around for the neck scratches i give her. She looks so much and acts so much like my old "Girl". I don't want to go there because I know I will experience that pain again when the time comes.

@kirrithulin1483

Thank you Lord for always being my strength when things came undone when I felt so stretched I felt I couldn’t give anymore you showed me you were carrying me through the storm and that I didn’t have to do it alone. The world is a lonely place Father God but you are always there with me. Ooh the love that you give Father God never ending love 💕
