I’ve got something I'd like to get off my chest
This room has had a lot of memories
Some good, some bad, history’s been had
And I still can say home sweet home
I wish these stars would align
The way the streetlights do in this indiana sky
But in the end when it is time to choose
You know that I would never choose you
For just this once can we abandon bitterness?
And bask in these moments, and just forget the rest?
Come on kid, who are you trying to impress?
By growing up so fast and leaving behind all your friends
Growing up in this town can be a drag
Everyone trying to get out, I’m trying to get back
Home, I know my ambition will kill me
But in the end I just need a few simple things
This is my home, these are my friends, there is a sound inside my head, and if I just can get it out, I could pass on without doubt, that there is hope, an ultimate truth, things beyond me and you. I’m not there yet, but I’m closer now, I’m glad I sat here and wrote this down
