Another summer day
Is come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home

I was miles away from my New York City, the place I have called home for many years. I took the job in Washington D.C. thinking it would be a good opportunity for me. I was right and I was wrong. The first night in a strange place was rough, there was nothing to comfort the home sick feeling I had gotten and what made it worse was I couldn't bring myself to call anyone to talk. I would reach for the phone but couldn't dial, I hated to seem weak but I wanna go home...

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

I was miles away from the people I loved surrounded by stuck up people in business attire. I realize how that sounds coming from a lawyer who fit so well into the blend of people I was not in the company of but I had surrounded myself with people that weren't like me and it was always nice to be around them. I am stuck in this city alone and without the comfort of friends and loved ones. It makes the home sick feeling worse and even more I feel weak but I wanna go home...

And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
I'm fine baby, how are you?
Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

I was miles away and couldn't get rid of the sick feeling. It got worse as the time went by. It became hard to focus and I often found that I just wanted to cry but I would only cry at home and it always seemed to be when I was drifting off to sleep, you can't help or stop the tears from coming it's just best to let them fall. I desperately miss New York, my life, my friends and I just wanna go home...

Let me go home I've had my run
Baby, I'm done I gotta go home
Let me go home, it will all right
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

Three years later I was finally able to return home to New York and my friends. Everything was finally as it should be, the sick feeling had disappeared and even though the experience had been good I didn't want to go back, I was glad to say the words I'm home.
