home is where the heart is - leaving cardboard houses lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i’m surrounded by teens, after one dream
that american one, ’bout acc-mulating
fame, success, and a whole lot of money
then buying a house and raising a family

first, come good grades every school year
followed by college then a career
climb up the ladder, try to volunteer
and when it’s all finished retire?

we’re taking our lives and stepping inside of a box
an ordinary cardboard one of paradox
where everything that we’re doing is orthodox
even though we’re told to dream; think outside the box

inside this box, we decide to hang out
make ourselves comfortable, make it a house
cut out some windows and maybe a door
and long for dreams we aren’t chasing anymore

[chorus 1]
home is where the heart is
this heart is yours
this heart is yours
home is where the heart is
this heart is yours
this heart is yours
i’m home when i’m…

[chorus 2]
with you-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh, woah oh-oh-oh-oh
i’m home when i’m…
with you-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, woah oh-oh-oh-oh

[verse 2]
(so if) home’s where the heart is, why trap ourselves
inside this box of complacency; in this cell?
if our hearts long for meaning far beyond this sh-ll
why haven’t we broken out and said our farewell?

maybe we’re scared of changing course
change’ll be scary if we need control
cause change means that we step out into the unknown
where nothing’s certain and sometimes you’ll follow

someone or something outside of yourself
surrender control, give it to someone else
but if holding tight to control means stay here
you’re already handing the reigns to your fear

leave comfort zones, tear down your cardboard walls
fear is a vice, it’s the opposite of love
and if god is love then he cannot be fear
so i give him my life, and i look in the mirror

and i find out i’m loved
and i find out i’m known
and i find out that when i give him all of my heart and i
learn to have faith that then i’m truly home

[bridge]
let’s leave these cardboard houses
we’ve been building them so long
let’s leap into the great unknown
cause when i’m with you i’m home
cause when i’m with you i’m home

i’m home when i’m…

[chorus 2]
with you-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh, woah oh oh oh oh
woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, woah oh oh oh-oh

[chorus 1]
home is where the heart is
this heart is yours
this heart is yours
ho-woah-oh-oh-oh-home is where the heart is
this heart is yours
