American Football truly is the defining band of elder emo music. Their first album helped define the emo genre, but then they left for 20 years. When they came back, they had the wisdom of aging, their lives were different, they don't have a young persons problems anymore. Their music, however, still captures the same essence as it did all those years ago. They never went through the evolution the way other emo bands that continued to create music did. They came back, and made music that speaks to their audience in the same way it did all those years ago. Some bands still write music like the only issues they have are the popular girl in school not liking them, despite being 30-40 years old at this point. American Football acknowledge the adolescent roots of emo music in this song and music video, and addressed it in the perfect way. Going home never feels right, and at this point, its usual under bad circumstances or obligation. The video shows the adults wearing their old high school clothes, in an attempt to either pay tribute to days gone, or an attempt to never leave those days behind.

Home is where the haunt is
Those wounds won’t lick themselves
It's a good thing you’re not alone
He’s been here all along
You can’t see him, but you know he’s there
The ghost in the corner of the room
He knows what you sleep in
When you’re dreaming, of who
Some things never change
Maybe that’s okay
Home is where the haunt is
The past still present tense
Need more time to mourn
But you shouldn’t sulk for too long
Because you look like hell
An accidental version of yourself
You can’t just forget all the other lives you’ve lived
The ghost in the corner of the room
Knows how you’re feeling
‘Cause you’re dead to him, too
Some things never change
Maybe that’s okay
Cause I know how you hate to sleep alone
