Where I Belong
Hayes Lyrics

On a beach, before the mornin' light
I am reminiscing on a time when I was on a beach at sunrise.

Fire lightin' up your sea blue eyes
The reflection of the fire in your blue eyes is a sight to behold.

I told you, myself, that I had to go
I informed you that I was leaving on my own accord.

(I had to go, I had to go)
(Repeating) I had to leave, I had no other option.

Over now, I'm missin' my cold home
Now that I am gone, I long for the familiarity of my cool home.

(I miss you, I miss you, I miss you)
(Repeating) I miss you and wish I could be with you again.

'Cause I've been away too long
I have been gone for an extended period of time.

Nowhere to call my home
I do not have a specific place to identify as my home.

I don't know where I belong
I am uncertain of where I truly fit in.

If it's not here
If it is not with you or in this place, then where?

Didn't mean to leave you in the dark
I did not intend to leave you feeling lost or forgotten.

(In the dark)
(Clarifying) I left without providing enough information or explanation, leaving you confused.

Counting coin, while you were counting stars
While you were enjoying nature and the celestial body, I was focused on financial matters.

(Counting stars)
(Clarifying) You were counting the stars in the sky and marveling at their beauty.

I see the faces I used to know
I am starting to recall and reminisce about people I have known in the past.

(I used to know, I used to know)
(Repeating) There are so many familiar faces from my past that I am beginning to remember.

And hear the waves callin' from my cold home
I can almost hear the sound of the waves from my familiar, chilly home.

Home is calling
I feel a strong pull back to my true home.

Where's my home?
I am questioning where exactly my home is.

(Is calling, calling) home is calling
(Repeating) I feel the urge to return to where I belong - my home.
