When You're Home - Radio Edit

Lyrics

I used to think we lived at the top of the world
 When the world was just a subway map
 And my thoughts took shape
 On that fire escape
 Can you remind me of what it was like
 At the top of the world?
 Come with me!
 We begin July
 With a stop at my corner fire hydrant
 You would open it every summer
 I would bust it with a wrench
 'Til my face got drenched
 'Til I heard the sirens
 And then I ran like hell
 You ran like hell
 Yeah, I ran like hell!
 I remember well
 To your father's dispatch window
 "Hey, let me in, yo!
 They're coming to get me!"
 You were always in constant trouble
 Then your dad would act all snide
 But he'd let me hide
 You were there inside
 Life was easier then
 Nina, everything is easier
 When you're home
 The street's a little kinder
 When you're home
 Can't you see
 That the day seems clearer
 Now that you are here, or is it me?
 Maybe it's just me
 We gotta go, I wanna show you all I know
 The sun is setting, and the light is getting low
 Are we going to Castle Garden?
 Maybe, maybe not but way to take a shot
 When the day is hot
 I go a perfect shady spot
 A little ways that oughta
 Cool us down
 Cool us down
 Welcome back to town
 Now back in high school, when it darkened
 You'd hang out in Bennet Park and-
 Usnavi would bring his radio
 As I walked home from Senior Studies
 I'd see you rapping with your buddies
 With the volume high
 I walked on by
 When you're home
 Oh, the summer nights are cooler
 When you're home
 Now that you're here with me
 And that song you are hearing
 Is the neighborhood just cheering-
 And if you don't know, then listen it again
 You're gonna change the world and then
 We're all gonna brag and say we knew her when
 This was your home
 I'm home
 Welcome home
 When you're here with me
 Welcome home
 I used to think that we lived at the top of the world
 Welcome home
 I'm home
 You're finally home
 I'm home
