No Place Like Home

from Good Childhood by Not Caleb

lyrics

This mud room door that has opened and closed for me everyday is a reminder of what i've lost. The shoes and boots that i will never again fit into. I have bigger shoes to fill now. But, these shoes took me far away from home. They are making my feet sore and i'm tired. I'm tired of all of the job interviews, all of the apartment searching, all of the fake smiles and small talk, growing older and growing apart. It breaks my heart. I keep hoping that this is all just a vivid dream and i will wake up to the sun shining through my attic window again. I will feel the blue and red carpet underneath my bare feet. I will walk down those antique stairs and rub my eyes to make sure that this isn't another dream. Then, I walk through that mudroom door for the the first time in what feels like forever. I smell the dirt and dawn and without socks, I put my shoes on. I open the door to my world and step into the maroon sunlight; It is no longer black and white. I say to myself something like "It was a long walk. But, I have made some great friends and i have seen great things. I have loved and lost, laughed and cried. I have seen my self change before my eyes. But, at the end of the night, at the end of everything, we go home." Then, like how Dorothy survived the tornado, I woke up and I found peace once more.

There's no place like home
There's no place like home
