Home Away From Home

Home Away From Home


My home away from home
A place some say is too wet
My home away from home
Where all my best friends were met
My home away from home
Where everyday problems cease to exist
My home away from home
Where there’s no such thing as a limit
My home away from home
Where impossible is an empty word
My home away from home
Where waking up at 4:30 isn’t considered absurd
My home away from home
Where looking good at school is a thing of the past
My home away from home
Where winning sometimes means coming in last
My home away from home
Where my wardrobe smells strongly of chlorine
My home away from home
Where long test sets are anything but boring
My home away from home
Describing it reminds me of any happy song
My home away from home
It’s the only place I’ll ever feel like I truly belong
