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
