paroles de chanson Home Calls - Original Cast Recording feat. Lauren Blackman

I come from Needham
To be specific Needham Mass.
The land of matching driveways and perfectly kept grass
I moved to New York City to see what I would find
But sometimes I wonder what did I leave behind?
How are my folks back in Needham?
Do they have sirloin on Sunday still?
Does Dad never tire of singing "We Didn′t Start the Fire"
Each time mom asks did you start the grill?
And its after a day when the city's pushing me away
And I start getting bruises from the falls
The skyline′s less pretty than when I first moved to the city
Home calls
I've been here awhile
To be specific it's been a year
I go out every evening
I know so many people here
We all care for each other
Or at least we pretend
I′ve met so many people, but not one I′d call a friend
How are my friends back in Needham?
Do the guys still compare bench press reps?
Do they tell the same jokes
While drinking rum and cokes
And then walk on up to our high school steps?
Now my roommate's a pain
This morning I missed my train
And my boss has got me climbing the walls
My place is 13 degrees and it′s days just like these
Home calls
So I came home for a stay
Dropped in on Mom and Dad
We drank some chardonnay
And laughed at good times we had
But as the hours past I realized things aren't how they were before
It all moves so slow
But it changes so fast
Do I belong here anymore?
What are they doing in Brooklyn?
Does the coffee cart guy know I′m gone
Did the New York Times come?
And how the hell's my favorite bum?
Did that car alarm go off today at dawn?
Now I miss all the fuss from all the wackos on the bus
Who freak out every time the bus stalls
Sometimes you′re wrong about where you belong
That's when
Home calls
