[Verse 1] I’ve seen streets I couldn’t name Watched the sun rise somewhere new Slept beneath a dozen skylines Woke up missing something true There were nights I thought that leaving Was the only way to grow Funny how the farther you get The more clearly you can know [Pre-Chorus] It isn’t something on a map It isn’t where the road begins It’s the place that lets you walk in And be yourself again [Chorus] Take me home Take me back where I belong Where the lights are still on When the day has gone wrong Where the door opens wide And I don’t have to explain I can run around the world But I’ll come back here again Take me home Take me home Where I belong [Verse 2] There’s a jacket by the doorway There are pictures on the wall Little scratches on the table No one notices at all There’s a chair that knows my tiredness There’s a key that fits just right And somebody in the kitchen Saying, “You’re home early tonight” [Pre-Chorus] Maybe home is not the building Maybe walls don’t matter much Maybe home is just the people You don’t have to impress [Chorus] Take me home Take me back where I belong Where the lights are still on When the day has gone wrong Where the door opens wide And I don’t have to explain I can run around the world But I’ll come back here again Take me home Take me home Where I belong [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh Where I belong Oh-oh-oh Take me home [Bridge] Someday maybe things will change Different house, another street But if your voice is in the hallway That’s still home enough for me And if every road I ever take Leads somewhere I’ve never known I’ll still carry one direction Somewhere deep inside my bones [Build-Up] No matter how far No matter how long There’s always a road Back where I belong [Final Chorus] Take me home Take me back where I belong Where the lights are still on And somebody knows my song Where the door opens wide And I don’t have to explain I can run around the world But I’ll come back here again Take me home Take me home Where I belong [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh Where I belong Oh-oh-oh Take me home [Outro] I may love a thousand places But there’s only one I call home.
