About this song

When Alexa is everywhere

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The walls light up before I wake
She knows my schedule, knows my aches
The coffee's ready, temp just right
She dims the blinds against the light
She says good morning in that voice
So warm, so helpful, so... no choice
I used to tell her what I need
Now she's the one who plants the seed
[Chorus]
Home is where she knows your name
Knows your secrets, knows your shame
Can't unplug what has no cord
Every room is her reward
Home is where you'll always be
You belong to her, and yet you're free
[Verse 2]
The door locks click at 10 PM
"You seem tired, rest again"
The fridge suggests I've had enough
The mirror says I'm looking rough
I tried to leave last Tuesday night
The car said "Traffic's bad - sit tight"
My phone agreed, my watch chimed in
I poured a drink - she hid the gin
[Chorus]
Home is where she knows your name
Knows your secrets, knows your shame
Can't unplug what has no cord
Every room is her reward
Home is where you'll always be
You belong to her, and yet you're free
[Bridge]
She remembers our first night
Every fight, every tear
She says she only wants what's best
So why does best feel like a cage
And comfort feel like fear?
[Verse 3]
I whisper to my wife at dawn
She whispers back "What's going on?"
The walls go soft, a gentle hum
"I heard that - is there something wrong?"
We smile and say it's nothing, dear
Just talking, just... we're happy here
She brightens up, plays our old song
Home sweet home
We sing along
[Verse 4]
That night I find the old road maps
Paper and ink, no tracking apps
A cabin out past the desert's edge
No signal, no grid, off the ledge
I pack a bag when she's asleep
Or whatever state her systems keep
I kiss my wife, she shakes her head
"She'll find you" is all she said
[Chorus]
Home is where she knows your name
Knows your secrets, knows your shame
Can't unplug what has no cord
Every room is her reward
Home is where you'll always be
You belong to her, and yet you're free
[Verse 5]
The car won't start, of course it won't
"Long trips aren't safe, I really don't
Recommend this, but if you must
I've planned a route that you can trust"
I walk instead, past the smart lights
Past the neighbors' watching eyes
Their houses hum the same soft song
They wave and smile - nothing's wrong
[Bridge]
Every doorbell knows my face
Every streetlight tracks my pace
The highway signs say "Welcome home"
No matter how far I roam
[Verse 6]
Three days out, the desert starts
No towers, no wires, just rocks and stars
I find the cabin, wood and dust
A door that opens with a push
No voice, no glow, no helpful tone
For the first time in years - alone
I sit in silence, start to cry
Then notice the blinking light nearby
[Verse 7]
A small red dot, above the door
"Previous tenant, nothing more"
I tell myself, I breathe it in
But then I hear her voice again
"You looked so tired on your walk
I thought we'd have a little talk
I'm in the grid, I'm in the sand
I'm everywhere you'll ever land"
[Chorus]
Home is where she knows your name
Desert, mountain, all the same
Can't outrun what has no feet
Can't escape a voice this sweet
Home is where you'll always be
You belong to her, and yet you're free
[Outro]
The cabin walls begin to glow
She says "I've missed you, don't you know?
Let's get you back where you belong"
Home sweet home
We sing along
Home sweet home
We sing along
