Home is the place we return to at the end of the day. It is where we find comfort and feel safe. The inability to return to this place is not just a physical inability, but it is one that originates from a mental crossover. To say "You can't go home again" means that even if you do return, you return as someone different. It's as if you've crossed over an imaginary line in which going home at the end of the day is no longer a normal or regular part of your day. You've carried this undesired load that isn't welcome in a place like home. This new lifestyle, this new you, this thing that you might've done that allowed you to step over the line causes you to become uncomfortable within a place as simple as home.
