[00:02.19]The city that I'm from
[00:03.34]It was fun we were young and dumb
[00:05.26]Now we're all grown up
[00:07.30]The city that I'm from
[00:09.57]I miss the city
[00:10.34]Markham Ontario the first place I call home
[00:12.84]905 that's what I dial when I call home
[00:15.17]My dad picking up the phone ask him how it's going
[00:17.56]Same old no complaints he's just glad it's not snowing
[00:20.47]That means the golf course is open that's his home
[00:23.40]Memories on fairways with him I really miss those
[00:25.79]Canadian boy got letters in the zip code
[00:28.22]Winter cold no watch needed to keep the wrist frozen
[00:31.94]Got me thinking 'bout the early days
[00:33.39]The first time I learned to skate
[00:34.86]My first funeral when uncle
[00:35.90]Charlie met the pearly gates
[00:37.17]Days we don't worry things
[00:38.26]Time moved so slow months
[00:39.91]Felt way longer than 30 days
[00:42.32]Instead of scrolling phones
[00:43.22]I was turning pages
[00:44.71]Instead of burning bridges
[00:45.61]I was burning daylight
[00:46.96]When late nights were great nights
[00:48.35]That was way before I left
[00:49.73]The nest and had to take flight
[00:52.30]Is home where you start
[00:53.40]Or is home where you are right now
[00:55.72]Is home a place
[00:56.42]Or is home a state of mind
[00:58.45]Only one way to find out
[00:59.59]So I had to fly out
[01:02.97]The city that I'm from
[01:04.02]It was fun we were young and dumb
[01:05.88]Now we're all grown up
[01:07.97]The city that I'm from
[01:09.95]I miss the city that I'm from
[01:12.40]Los Angeles my second home
[01:13.54]First time I visit as a kid
[01:15.07]I was like ten or so
[01:16.37]Child actor working hoping maybe
[01:17.61]I was next to blow
[01:18.75]Knowing that one day I'll have to
[01:20.06]Make the move to get it going
[01:21.35]'Cause back home there's only
[01:22.64]So far that I could take it to
[01:24.27]Fast forward few years and
[01:25.48]Then we make the move
[01:26.47]New room new house new school new route
[01:28.82]Same old feelings of nostalgia 'bout my home town
[01:31.84]But new memories would soon compete with old ones
[01:33.95]Palm trees calm seas basking in the gold sun
[01:36.49]First kiss first sip cracking open cold ones
[01:38.95]Burbank was great there's worse places I could grow up
[01:41.51]But everything would change as
[01:43.04]Soon as you showed up
[01:44.15]Those some feelings of nostalgia start to show up
[01:46.62]D**n got me flustered
[01:47.67]I'm repeating myself
[01:48.34]I see our future you and me a family in a house
[01:52.71]Is home where we start
[01:53.82]Or is home where we are right now
[01:56.19]Is home a place
[01:57.02]Or is home a state of mind
[01:59.13]Only one way to know
[02:00.11]So we had to make our own home
[02:03.65]The city that I'm from
[02:04.68]It was fun we were young and dumb
[02:06.45]Now we're all grown up
[02:08.61]The city that I'm from
[02:10.87]I miss the city that I'm from
[02:12.27]Married for a couple years- time to put our roots down
[02:14.52]California living now a days feeling too crowded
[02:16.78]Over-priced apartments paper walls feeling too loud
[02:19.42]D**n feel like an old man
[02:20.79]I think it's time to move out
[02:22.10]Every month we would drive
[02:23.54]To see your family out in Vegas
[02:24.94]Loved it so it turned into a weekly basis
[02:27.04]I knew it was was a problem
[02:28.54]When the thought of driving
[02:29.54]Back home to Los Angeles would make us anxious
[02:32.15]That's when I knew we had to change the address
[02:34.22]Pack the couch pack the rugs
[02:35.42]Bed frame and mattress
[02:36.69]It was a risky thing to do
[02:37.97]But as long as I'm with you
[02:39.33]Then there's nothing I can lose
[02:40.60]So let's go ahead and make it happen
[02:42.33]Put the roots down planted the seeds
[02:44.06]Build a firm foundation for the family tree
[02:46.83]Can't wait to teach our kids to skate
[02:48.84]Take them golfing
[02:49.53]Wasn't sure where home was
[02:50.82]I think I finally solved it
[02:53.23]Home is not where the roofs are
[02:54.65]A home is not a driveway with new cars
[02:56.49]Home is not a new start
[02:57.89]Home is when I'm too far from everything
[02:59.63]I know and still feel at home
[03:01.21]'Cause home is where you are
