The song discusses feeling lost and not knowing oneself as one grows up. It reflects on missing the innocence of childhood and the control one had then, and the difficulties of learning how to be oneself and feel human as an adult when home no longer feels like home. The singer wishes they had done some things differently as they realize how little they understood about life, love, and themselves when they were younger.

When I come home and see my photo on my parents shelf
I look into my own eyes, but can't even see myself Who's that boy? I can stare, but I don't like seein' My reflection when all the attention's on someone else
Didn't know heartache, didn't get headaches
After drinking too much 'cause you're sad Didn't need health care 'cause you had mom there She would fix it when shit hit the fan
I wanna know, oh, where did I go?
Missin' my innocence when I had so much control Oh, I didn't know How to be myself when I was completely alone I wish I had done this, said that Oh, I wanna know How to feel human when nowhere I go feels like home
Back when I was a kid, I would follow the boys around
Got myself in some shit one by one when they let me down Who's that girl? I moved on, but it still hurts thinkin' Somehow I'll end up hurting somebody who treats me well
Didn't know heartache, didn't get headaches
From some guy who cheated on me twice 'Cause if he screwed up, I thought that was love Was too young to understand why
But I wanna know, oh, where did I go?
Missin' my innocence when I had so much control Oh, I didn't know How to be myself when I was completely alone I wish I had done this, said that Oh, I wanna know How to feel human when nowhere I go feels like home, home
When nowhere I go feels like home, home
When nowhere I go feels like home, home
Didn't know heartache, didn't get headaches
From tossin' and turnin' all night Tearin' off Band-Aids from the mistakes Was too young to take my own advice
But I wanna know, oh, where did I go? (Oh)
Missin' my innocence when I had so much control Oh, I didn't know (Oh, I didn't know) How to be myself when I was completely alone I wish I had done this, said that Oh, I wanna know How to feel human when nowhere I go feels like
Oh, where did I go?
Missin' my innocence when I had so much control Oh, I didn't know How to be myself when I was completely alone I wish I had done this, said that Oh, I wanna know How to feel human when nowhere I go feels like
