They say home is the place where your heart is
Then I am home now though I am far away
For so long I’ve let deep forests guard it
And now it’s begging me to stay
And I’m trying my best to be tough
To pretend I am strong and can siphon it off
But I’m not who I wanted to be
In my heart I belong in a house by the sea

They say home is a place where you’re needed
Then I am home now but I am leaving
To feel my feet being kissed by the seaweed
And I’ll be silent and kiss it back
This is not who I want you to see
It’s just adding on weight to the darkness in me
And from the little I have understood
I believe that a house by the sea would do good

They say home is a place you can choose to be
And I’ve decided to carry home inside me
So it’s not really as if I am leaving
It’s more like something pulling me

‘Cause behind everything that I do
I just want to forget, want to carry this through
Fill my lungs with the sweet summer air
In my heart in my mind I am already there
Yeah behind everything that I do
I just want to come home and lay down beside you
And then I’ll be who I wanted to be
In my heart I belong in a house by the sea
