Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key

Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
Well, now I'm wasted, and I can't find my way home

Come down on your own and leave your money at home
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key

Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
Oh, and I'm wasted, and I can't find my way home

Ooh, and I can't find my way home
And I can't find my way home
Ooh, and I can't find my way home

And I ain't done nothing wrong
And I can't find my way home
And I can't find my way home

Interpretation

According to the most popular interpretation at songmeanings.com, this song is about Eric Clapton. Essentially it is saying "Stop thinking of yourself as a rock god. Quit abusing your body with hard drugs and alcohol. I've been waiting to make music together, but you have to change and decide to come back."  If you're really wasted, you can't find your way home, whether that is a physical place or a metaphorical place, such as music.
