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
