I Feel Home

There has never been a song better lyrically written for my life than O.A.R.'s song "I Feel Home". Somehow these guys crawled up into my brain and took all of my experiences from high school up to now and put them in a nice little package. I listen to this song every time I take that drive up I-95. There is just something about it. It makes me feel home...

There are few things pure in this world anymore,

and home is one of the few.

We'd have a drink outside,

maybe run and hide if we saw a couple men in blue.

To me it's so damn easy to see

that true people are the people at home.

Well, I've been away but now I'm back today,

and there ain't a place I'd rather go.

I feel home,

when I see the faces that remember my own.

I feel home,

when I'm chilling outside with the people I know.

I feel home,

and that's just what I feel.

Home to me is reality,

and all I need is something real.

Feeling alright, heading out tonight,

maybe out to a dark driveway.

I say now some feel bored,

and some are looking for more.

Well, we all just decide to stay.

We got nothing to do,

and I look at you

I see something that I know and love.

and with the crack of a smile we all stay a while

we know from home there ain't nothing above.

Well in the end we can all call a friend

well that's something I know as true.

And then a thousand years and a thousand tears

I'll come finding my original crew

cause to me throughout eternity

there's somewhere where you're welcome to go

I said it's something free that means a lot to me

when I'm with my friends I feel home.

I feel home,

when I see the faces that remember my own

I feel home,

when I'm chilling outside with the people I know.

I feel home,

and that's just what I feel.

Home to me is reality,

and all I need something real

Home to me is reality,

and all I need something real

I feel home.
