Take Me Home
Blair St. Clair Lyrics

Got a view from here of a whole entire city
I am surrounded by the grandeur of an urban setting, but it fails to bring me any joy or excitement.

But I don't feel anything at all
The experience of being in a city is not enough to satisfy my emotional needs.

I get caught up in the new life that I'm living
The thrill of living a new life is exhilarating, but occasionally it also becomes overwhelming.

I need someone who reminds me where I'm from
I require someone to help me reconnect with my roots and remind me of the place where I grew up.

'Cause we were just kids back then
I reminisce about my childhood and the pleasant memories that were created during that time.

Hometown, had a party in the basement
I recall my hometown and the fun I had with my friends during the parties in the basement of a house.

We were just on the edge of the whole world
We were young and had our whole lives ahead of us; anything possible through the eyes of childhood imagination.

So close you could taste it
The possibilities and promises of youth were within reach and it felt tangible.

I remember our favorite song
I reminisce about a song that held a lot of importance in my life, likely tied to the childhood memories that I cherish so much.

Playing in the bar while we sang along
I recall the fun times spent singing along to our favorite tunes at a local bar, which was a hub of social activity for us.

Dreaming of our future love
We used to spend time imagining what our futures held in love and relationships, and what could be possible beyond childhood.

We'd stay up late
We often stayed up late, enjoying our time spent together and the freedom that came with not having adult responsibilities.

Everyone at my place
My home was the hub of social activity for my group of friends, where we gathered together to spend time with one another.

Crashing in the hallway
We were always there for each other, not afraid to bunk up anywhere in the house.

Calling it home
Despite its chaos, we considered the cozy house the place where we belonged and where true friendship could be found.

I've got that hot mess
The memories of my childhood have stuck with me, and I carry them with me like a unique personal identity.

Small town on my mind, guess
Despite the new experiences and worldliness I have gained from my current life, my small hometown still lingers in my thoughts.

I'm missing those nights
I long for and miss the nights spent with my friends in my small hometown, which will always hold a special place in my heart.

In this city alone
Despite my adventures and experiences in a city, I still feel lonely and disconnected from my roots and myself.

Baby, take me home
I need to go back to my hometown, where I can reconnect with my past and feel a sense of belonging that's lost in the new cities I feel alienated in.

All the best times went by in a moment
The best parts of my past flew by quicker than I expected, and now I miss the moments that passed too quickly to fully appreciate them at the time.

And these bright lights start to feel at home
I have adjusted to the urban cityscape despite my internal struggle, and have started to find comfort there even despite not feeling a deep personal connection to it.

But there's a place that raised me to believe in
Despite my embracement of the modern, forward-thinking ideals offered by my new urban environment, I know that my hometown was responsible for shaping me and my beliefs in my youth.

All my dreams and now I'm thinking of
I am thinking back on the dreams I had growing up in my hometown, and the values and lessons it taught me to believe in and strive for.

Ooh (yeah), baby, take me home
My heart is calling me back to my roots, where I feel I belong and can truly be myself.
