Lyrics
i ask myself what i think of this moment
i ask myself if i let you down
i can’t believe that you’re in my system
i can’t believe that you’re in my arms
shall we dance before the ambulance comes
shall we let the rain fall over us
shall we sing a settlement song
should have been who i was all along (all along)
let your mind keep you strong
it’s too late
you’re long gone
it’s too late
we’re undone
i find you all by yourself on the street again
baby come home again
baby come home again
it’s dangerous cause the people are struggling
it’s dangerous cause you’re hard to see
i want to make everything better
i want to make you believe
i lost myself to the sea of memories
i lost myself to irreverent dreams
i lost myself when i first met you
i lost myself more than i ever knew
it’s too late
you’re long gone
it’s too late
we’re undone
i find you all by yourself on the street again
baby come home again
baby come home again
baby come home again
all for your love
for your love
all for you
all for your love
for your love
all for you
it’s too late
you’re long gone
it’s too late
we’re undone
i find you all by yourself on the street again
baby come home again
baby come home again
baby come home again
baby come home
baby
baby come home
coming home
coming home
coming home

Band Thoughts:
“When I’m in the studio, I enjoy making records with some idea of what the record’s called, toward the end or something. But it’s really good to work under that umbrella. And when I went in to do that second batch of writing, which is about the third batch of writing for the record, that popped out. It’s one of the lines from a song called ‘Baby Come Home.’” – Gavin Rossdale (talking about the album title The Sea of Memories)
“When I was writing this record, I was really thinking about what we could bring. Most of the time, you conceptualize. But when I sat and thought about what the lyrics might be, I was looking at my life now, and, “The Mirror of The Signs,” for instance, is meant to be this thing about looking back. With nostalgia, like rose colored glasses, do you look back at your life when you were free of responsibility, and you had nothing, and now you have everything? You had your youth and what does that compare to now? It occurred to me that each of us is governed by our history and the experiences that we have, and the mistakes that we make, and the regrets that we all have. I see it all as us living on a sea of memories, and that’s it. That’s who we are. I like the idea. It’s very universal. It’s not just a comment about myself; it’s a comment about everybody. That’s why ten people are going to have ten different reactions to the same things: the same dilemma, the same positive things; that’s it, the sea of memories.” – Gavin Rossdale
