Since you didn’t post actual code in your question, I can only speculate. However, a common problem is that, when calling home_url(), it is not echoed. The value of the function is returned, rather than echoed, so it must be explicitly echoed by the code.
I’m guessing you have something like this:
<a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/95730/<?php home_url(); ?>">Home</a>
Which renders like so:
<a href="">Home</a>
…and would explain why the linked URL is the current page, rather than the expected URL for the site front page.
If so, change it to this:
<a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/95730/<?php echo home_url(); ?>">Home</a>
