Where the heart is

Further along the road,
a little more than halfway home -
we meet again,
face to face.

Chasing you in my mind,
I stopped when you were running
much too fast...
I was breathless.
But you just kept on going,
you were restless...

So now we meet again
and I'm really not so sure
who's traveled the longer way.

Are you still confused?
Well, it's all so clear to me.
And getting clearer everyday...

Home is where the heart is
and my heart is here at home.
Feeling complete
even when I'm all alone.

I gave up on the search
and now it's finding me...
The pain that I felt
was only a dream.

But I'm awake now
and I don't feel a thing...

Home is where the heart is
and my heart is here at home...
Savoring each moment
that I live.

Even through the tears,
I still get the jokes.
And I laugh out loud
at myself.

Yeah, I laugh out loud
at myself.
