Текст песни When You're Home - Radio Edit - Christopher Jackson , Mandy Gonzalez , 'In The Heights' Original Broadway Company

I used to think we lived at the top of the world
When the world was just a subway map
And my thoughts took shape
On that fire escape
Can you remind me of what it was like
At the top of the world?

Come with me!
We begin July
With a stop at my corner fire hydrant

You would open it every summer

I would bust it with a wrench
Till my face got drenched
Till I heard the sirens
And then I ran like hell

You ran like hell
Yeah I ran like hell!
I remember well

To your father's dispatch window
"Hey, let me in yo!
They're coming to get me!"

You were always in constant trouble-

Then your dad would act all snide
But he'd let me hide
You were there inside

Life was easier then

Nina, eveyrthing is easier
When you're home
The street's a little kinder
When you're home

Can't you see
That the day seems clearer
Now that you are here, or is it me?
Maybe it's just me

We gotta go, I wanna show you all I know
The sun is seting and the light is getting low

Are we going to Castle Garden?

Maybe, maybe not but way to take a shot
When the day is hot
I go a perfect shady spot
A little ways that oughta
Cool us down

Cool us down

Welcome back to town

Now back in high school, when it darkned
You'd hangout in Bennet Park and-

Usnavi would bring his radio

As I walked home from Senior Studes
I'd see you rapping with your buddies

With the volume high

I walked on by

When you're home
Oh the summer nights are cooler

When you're home

Now that you're here with me

And that song you are hearing
Is the neighborhood just cheering-
And if you don't know then listen it again
You're gonna change the world and then
We're all gonna brag and say we knew her when
This was your home

I'm home

Welcome home

When you're here with me

Welcome home

I used to think that we lived at the top of the world
Welcome home
I'm home
You're finally home
I'm home
