The duo explained the song's meaning: "We were on the road a ton and were dealing with being away from home and loved ones," they said. "The idea is that we are always 'home.' Love transcends any distance."

You say love is what you put into it
You say that I'm losing my will
Don't you know that you're all that I think about
You make up a half of the whole

You say that it's hard to commit to it
You say that it's hard standing still
Don't you know that I spend all my nights
Counting backwards the days 'til I'm home

If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise this city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home

I say that we're right in the heart of it
A love only we understand
I will bend every light in this city
And make sure they're shining on you

If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise this city won't get in our way
And when you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home

When life takes its own course
Sometimes we just don't get to choose
I'd rather be there next to you
Promise you'll wait for me
Wait for me
Wait 'til I'm home

All I have is this feeling inside of me
The only thing I've ever known

If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise this city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home

If only New York wasn't so far away
I will be there every step of the way
And when you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home
Just know that I'm already home
