We re going home vance joy lyrics

[Verse 1]
Under the surface you don't know what you'll find
Hmm, until it's your time
No second chances but all we can do is try
Hmm, I made up my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't see you
But I hear your call
Baby, hold on now

[Chorus]
We're going home
If we make it or we don't, we won't be alone
When I see your light shine, I know I'm home
If you're waiting all your life, you won't ever go
When I see your light shine, I know I'm home
When I see your light shine, I know I'm home
When I see your light shine

[Verse 2]
Some things are simple and hard to ignore
They say, hmm, the truth is like that
We're getting colder, so far from the shore
I say, hmm, the world is like that

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't see you
But I hear your call
Baby, hold on now

[Chorus]
We're going home
If we make it or we don't, we won't be alone
When I see your light shine, I know I'm home
If you're waiting all your life, you won't ever go
When I see your light shine, I know I'm home
When I see your light shine, I know I'm home
When I see your light shine

[Bridge]
There's a place that I
Wanna run with you
Darling, there's a place that I
Wanna run with you

[Chorus]
We're going home
If we make it or we don't, we won't be alone
When I see your light shine, I know I'm home
If you're waiting all your life, you won't ever go
When I see your light shine, I know I'm home
When I see your light shine, I know I'm home
When I see your light shine, I know
I'm home
I'm home
When I see your light shine

"We're Going Home" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy and released on 12 January 2018 as the third single from Joy's second studio album Nation of Two.

Joy told Triple J's Ben & Liam the song was written whilst on tour in the US opening for Taylor Swift. Joy said: "It's a song that took me by my surprise. It's about stepping out into the unknown and finding out what you're made of, which I did a bit on that tour. I was definitely scared opening up shows for Taylor Swift. It was kinda scary but I'm glad this song arrived."[2]

At the APRA Music Awards of 2019, the song was nominated for Most Played Australian Work and Pop Work of the Year.[3]

Video[edit]

The video was directed by Mimi Cave and was released on 10 January 2018.[4]

Dancers: Kent Boyd, Sarah Butler, Shauna Davis, Jessica Franco, Sarah Printz, Gary Reagan and Pia Vinson

Reception[edit]

Tyler Jenke from Tone Deaf said: "A tender, emotional track that showcases Vance Joy at his finest. "We're Going Home" has that rare quality of being an introspective, poignant tune that features a huge chorus; perfect for reflection, or for belting out from the front row of one of his concerts."[5]
