Lyric discussion by mumf 

this song means everything to me. It says that it's easy to go home because that's where everything is easy. Your old friends, your old lover. Take the job your dad had, and never open up yourself up to the possibility of what else is out there. I wish I had listened to Michael's advice a little more.

Surely it's saying it's lonelier & tougher going back, not easier? *'what else is out there' - Could be great, or could just be serial killers out there; it's the grass always greener illusion, but wherever you go you take yourself with you, so best to work out how to enjoy wherever it is you are rather than imagine it's bound to better elsewhere.. Altho' I have yet to take that advice myself..
