Candlebox - He Calls Home Lyrics

Well I see him everyday in that blanket that he calls home
I wonder does he know that his family they're left alone
He says, ‽Brother can you spare, can you spare a dime”
I'm down to my last dollar this life of mine
Said this life of mine gets rough at times

Now I wonder does he know does he even care
That his family, they're safe at home and they wonder where
As he wanders through his life, he's ever searchin' for
A warm blanket on warm fields and he wanders on
And he wonders is he safe from the cold?

Safe out from the cold

Well I see he left the other day took his blanket that he called home
Did he go for good or did he pass away?
Well I wonder does he know see I'm down to my last dollar
And this life of mine said this life of mine, it gets rough at times

And now I wonder does he know, does he even care?
That my family is safe at home and they wonder where
As I wander through my life ever searchin' for
My warm blanket on warm fields as I wander on
And I wonder will I always helped along?

I said I, I'll never know no, no
Because I, I'll never go and no, no
Yes, I, I said I wonder why, yeah
Because I yeah, oh no I'll never go home
I'll never come home, never come home
Won't you let me come home? Doesn't wanna come home

Oh, said, oh I got I'll never know
Yes, I, I'll never go no, no
Yes, I, I said I wonder why yeah
Because oh yeah, oh no, I'll never come home
I'll never come, never come home, home
I wanna come home, won't you let me come home?
'Cause I wanna come home, let me come home?
Come home

  what exactly does 'home' mean for the songwriter...anybody? Sounds to me that this person is able to relate, by running into a similiar situation, later on in life. However, if you were to be at "home" things would be better. For me, i've always loved this song because i can relate to it in my own way...of course, but i've always wondered what the true meaning was. Why is he so confused w/ going back home, what happened?
