Home Is Where You Are

I don’t recognize this place

Can’t see your face

Locked my heart with you inside

But then my pride

Threw all we had into space

It just doesn’t feel the same

I am to blame

I regret all yesterdays

Wanted to say

That home makes me think your name

Chorus:

Home, home, home

It’s how I feel ‘bout you

Home, home, home

And all the things you do

Come to see you from so far

Because home is where you are

Home, home, home

I leave my place to go to yours

My life’s done for

I just need you by my side

To be my guide

And then we’ll open the door

You need to hold on to your heart

Don’t fall apart

Can you let me protect you?

Please let me through

It’ll feel like home from the start

CHORUS

A house is not the same as a home

You help me to stay and not to roam

You keep on asking if I’m okay

Why would I be when you’re away?

Some say home is where you find the heart

Well the truth is home is where you are

CHORUS

I have been fascinated for a while about the idea of “homes” in lyrics. It is used to describe a place of comfort and familiarity. Some have said it is where the heart is. These lyrics are to show that home is where we are with someone we know and love. Some other songs about “home” that I like are: “I Wanna Go Home” by Michael Bublé, “Home” by Phillip Phillips, “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” by Bon Jovi, and “Home” by Daughtry.
