Home Is Where You Are
Discovering True Home: Kolton Brown's Melodic Reflection on Love and Life
Lyrics
It's not in a house sitting on a hill
Home is not defined by a house on a hill.
It's not where mama bakes her pies
Home is not determined by traditional activities like baking pies.
It's not where daddy drinks his whiskey on ice
Home is not where a father enjoys whiskey on ice.
Home is where you are
The essence of home is wherever the person addressed is.
It doesn't have to be way out in the country
Home doesn't have to be located in the countryside.
Or overlook some beautiful land
It's not necessary for it to overlook beautiful landscapes.
I'd be fine with a small house in the city
A small house in the city is sufficient if shared with the loved one.
Just as long as you were mine
The key is the presence of the significant other.
I don't need a big ol' yard with a big house
A big yard and house are not essential for the concept of home.
And a wrap-around porch painted white
No need for a picturesque wrap-around porch.
Where we swing when the sun goes down
Desire for shared moments as the sun sets.
I just want you and me to grow old together
Expressing the wish to grow old together.
And raise a family the best we can
Aspirations to build a family and do the best possible.
Cause to me it's not about all those crazy things
Rejecting the pursuit of materialistic and superficial things.
That people get lost just trying to find
Emphasizing the simplicity of love over extravagant pursuits.
It's just about loving the one you're with because
Stating that love is the essence of home.
Home is where you are
Reiteration that home is where the beloved is.
It's not where everybody knows my name
Home is not where everyone knows one's name.
Or where I played on Friday nights
Not defined by past social or recreational activities.
It's not the town that I grew up in
Rejecting attachment to the town of upbringing.
Or the house where I was raised
Not defined by the childhood residence.
I don't need a big ol' yard with a big house
Reiteration that a big yard and house are unnecessary.
And a wrap-around porch painted white
Continued emphasis on simplicity over grandeur.
Where we swing when the sun goes down
Desire for shared moments as the sun sets, rephrased.
I just want you and me to grow old together
Reiteration of the desire to grow old together.
And raise a family the best we can
Repeating the aspiration to raise a family.
Cause to me it's not about all those crazy things
Reaffirming the rejection of materialistic pursuits.
That people get lost just trying to find
Reiteration of the simplicity of love over extravagant pursuits.
It's just about loving the one you're with because
Restating that love is the essence of home.
Home is where you are
Reaffirmation that home is where the beloved is.
Girl I'll admit I once called all of these places home
Admitting that various places were once considered home.
But now I know it's where ever I fall into your arms
Realization that home is wherever one falls into the arms of the loved one.
I don't need a big ol' yard with a big house
Reiteration that grandeur is unnecessary for the concept of home.
And a wrap-around porch painted white
Continued emphasis on simplicity over grandeur.
Where we swing when the sun goes down
Desire for shared moments as the sun sets, rephrased.
I just want you and me to grow old together
Reiteration of the desire to grow old together.
And raise a family the best we can
Repeating the aspiration to raise a family.
Cause to me it's not about all those crazy things
Reaffirming the rejection of materialistic pursuits.
That people get lost just trying to find
Reiteration of the simplicity of love over extravagant pursuits.
It's just about loving the one you're with because
Restating that love is the essence of home.
Home is where you are
Final affirmation that home is where the beloved is.
Home is where you are
Concluding statement reiterating that home is where the beloved is.
Home is where you are
Reaffirmation that home is where the beloved is.
