This song has stuck with me since I first heard it. My life story means I have a complicated relationship with where my home really is. No doubt I’ve been on many adventures, but there’s nothing like returning home. Home is where my people are, so that is definitely our apartment in Greece right now. But moving countries from my childhood home means I also will always feel a sense of home there as well. When people ask me what I miss about living in America, I most often say laying outside in my parents’ backyard of lush green grass, like the opening line of the song. I also am prone to chase many dreams like another line in this song says, but I need to remember to treasure home. I am grateful for a rooted sense of home in this life. Hope you enjoy the song.
Lyrics:
Gonna stay in this moment, gonna lay here on the grass.
I don't need to feel lonely, I'm finally home at last.
Don't mind being gone on adventures for a while, '
Cause the best thing about it is I know I'm coming back.
Of all the magic places in the world I've been to,
This is where my heart is, oh, you know it's true.
No matter where I go, I'm coming home to you.
Been walking down this street so many times,
My feet know every brick and stone, could wear a blindfold.
No matter what I do, I'm coming home to you.
And I don't know why, don't know why, don't know why
I'm always feeling homesick.
All I know, all I know, all I know
Is this is where my heart is.
I have seen many places where the beauty never ends.
Different cities, friendly faces and perhaps I'm going back.
But I don't have to be chasing every dream that I have,
'Cause the thing is I've got more love here than I can bare.
Of all the magic places in the world I've been to,
This is where my heart is, oh, you know it's true.
No matter where I go, I'm coming home to you.
Been walking down this street so many times,
My feet know every brick and stone, could wear a blindfold.
No matter what I do, I'm coming home to you.
And I don't know why, don't know why, don't know why
I'm always feeling homesick.
All I know, all I know, all I know
Is this is where my heart is.
Of all the magic places in the world I've been to,
This is where my heart is, oh, you know it's true.
No matter where I go, I'm coming home to you.
