Home Lyrics

California is a great big nation of one
They never knew what they wanted until it was already gone
What do they do with the light
In the morning when they wake up alone?

They just go home
They just go home

You're the nicest, nicest boy I've ever met
And then I think about you, then I think about you again and again
Why don't we just sit and stare and do nothing?
Nothing at all for a while, I like the way you smile

I could be your state and I could be your nation
It doesn't get better than home, now does it?
Doesn't get better than home, now does it?
I could be your welcome, I could be your greeter
I could be sweet and I could be sweeter
I want to be where your heart is home

I want to see you with the light in the morning
There's never been such a beautiful warning to me, to me
Why don't we just sit and stare and do nothing?
Nothing at all for a while, I like the way you smile

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is the Sweet Darlin' of the new album for me- it's just so sweet! Best one on Volume Two, imho.

"I want to be where your heart is home..." That is one of the greatest statements ever made. Why? Because... Isn't that the ideal relationship? The kind of relationship where all you need is eachother and no matter where you go, your home is where your heart is. That is lovely. And the point is personified throughout the song. "I can be your state and I can be your nation." True love is your identity and the only thing you ever need to feel at home. Thank you again Zooey!
