Back Home in My Heart

Shoes off at the door

Laughter leaking down the hall

Mama yelling

“Dinner’s getting cold”

But we’re dancing through it all

These little fights

These late-night calls

Photos taped

On cracked white walls

I lose myself

Out there sometimes

But I know where I arrive

Back home in my heart

Where the floor’s a little messy

But we’re alright

We argue

Then we’re laughing five minutes later

Yeah

That’s our kind of perfect tonight

Back home in my heart

Every friend

Every face ’round this crowded table

We’re loud

We’re strange

But it’s our forever

Home is love

And love is our label (hey!)

Best friend on the couch

Sharing secrets through the snacks

Grandpa sleeping with the TV on

We just turn the volume back

I chase dreams

In busy streets

But your names

Are my heartbeat

When I’m tired

When lights all fade

I hear you calling my name

Back home in my heart

Where the floor’s a little messy

But we’re alright

We argue

Then we’re laughing five minutes later

Yeah

That’s our kind of perfect tonight

Back home in my heart

Every friend

Every face ’round this crowded table

We’re loud

We’re strange

But it’s our forever

Home is love

And love is our label (oh-oh)

Take my hand

Let’s promise this

Even when

We get older

Drift

Every road

Every distant star

Leads us back

To where we are (yeah)

Back home in my heart

Where the floor’s a little messy

But we’re alright

We argue

Then we’re laughing five minutes later

Yeah

That’s our kind of perfect tonight

Back home in my heart

Every friend

Every face ’round this crowded table

We’re loud

We’re strange

But it’s our forever

Home is love

And love is our label (hey!)

Home is us

And we are able
