Can’t Find My Way Home Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key

[Chorus]
But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home


[Verse 2]
Come down on your own and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key


[Chorus]
But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home


[Outro]
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
Still I can't find my way home
And I ain't done nothing wrong
But I can't find my way home

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Can’t Find My Way Home” is The best-known song of Blind Faith’s only album. It is best known for Winwood’s falsetto and the line “And I’m wasted and I can’t find my way home”. Although Blind Faith
broke up shortly after releasing their self-titled album, this song remained one of the most popular songs in rock music, with numerous other artists performing cover versions.

The most popular interpretation of the song is that it’s a song about being wasted on drugs and needing help to get clean. However considering that Blind Faith; the album this song was released under, had another song with religious undertones, it could be about religion and the quest for self -rediscovery. Either way the song clearly operates on the theme of being lost, and needing to return to one’s own roots.
