Played live for the first time at the SUNY Campus Center in Oswego, NY on April 10th, 2010.

Goo Goo Dolls frontman Johnny Rzeznik says he was inspired to write the song "Home," ironically, because he's never home. He explains, "I spend so much time on the road, and I'm constantly surrounded by people, but I don't really know them, and I'll probably never see them again. And when you live a life like that, it sorta creates a vacuum of intimacy." Johnny says to combat that, he stays in close contact with his family, his girlfriend and the friends he had before he became famous. He says, "They're what gives you strength and keeps you grounded when you're roaming around playing rock music for a living."

Lyrics

The crowded room is full of empty faces
The deepest conversation full of lies
Another night with all my friends
The kind you never see again
I wonder if they see through my disguise
And I want to say
And I can’t hold back
And I might be wrong
But it’s all I have

Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Oh I need you now
I’m lost without you
A million miles
But I will find you
So take me home

It’s 3 A.M. and I can’t sleep without you
I think I found the perfect words to say
Satelite transmits my voice
Sometimes we don’t have a choice
I wake you up from half a world away
And I try so hard
Try to be so strong
But you see the cracks
My defenses gone

Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Come take me home tonight
Come take me home

Satelite transmits my voice
Sometimes we don’t have a choice
I wake you up from half a world away
Oh I need you now
I’m lost without you
I’m holding on
Till i can find you
So take me home
