the air, the air it flows so clear here,
and this summer, this summer smells so new,
but the faces, these faces are all so familiar,
under sky, a sky thats forever blue,
oh and the feeling,
of remeniscing,
climbs up out of me now that im home.

CHORUS:
this is my place,
among the streets all sun soaked golden,
near where the kids still play,
down by the creek on hot summer days,
where the east wind brings,
that salty smell of 1000 beaches,
and where the people are all like me, then i know,
i know im home.

VERSE 2:
come night, in rolls a cool steady seabreeze,
a welcome change, from the heat of yesterday,
all i hear is our windchimes between the sounds of lonely crickets,
never noticed till now just how much i missed it,
missed those sounds and smells,
my old mates and girls,
missed my family,
and how we used to be,
but i let it go,
learned to let it go, when i came home to you,

CHORUS:
this is my place,
where the weathers oh so perfect,
and all our trees so green,
within them wild birds are chirpin,
and the atmosphere,
is like no where else youve been,
and those people are all like me,
thats how i know, i know im home.

VERSE 3:
i wish i could just stay here,
with the memories of 96'
playing in the yard,
making houses with the leaves and the sticks,
sat in my old room,
slept in my old bed,
how the look had changed but the feelings they never left.

CHORUS:
in my place,
among the streets all sun soaked golden,
near where the kids still play,
down by the creek on hot summer days,
where the east wind brings,
that salty smell of 1000 beaches,
and where the people are all like me, then i know,
i know im home, i know im home.
