Arms

It always sounds cheesy when someone says something like "There's no place like home" or "Home is where the heart is". However this

"Arms" by Christina Perri reminds me of something my mother once told me, "Home is where you, your brothers and your father are." What many may not know is that we've moved around quite a bit over the years and from country to country. Pretty much leaving me no real or accurate answer to the question, "So, where are you from?" The only real answer I've been able to come up with was, "Where would you like me/need me to be from?" Most seem to think I'm just being a smartass until I start my story. The most concise version of that is, "My two brothers and I were all born in different countries and this isn't even one of them."

Today's song is a simple reminder that a home is not made of metal, wood or stone it's made of stuff that's a lot stronger.

I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start

You put your arms around me
and I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms me and I'm home

How many times will let you me change my mind and turn around?
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let our love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone

You put your arms around me
and I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let our love get so close...

You put your arms around me and I'm home...

I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I never opened up, I've never truly loved till you
You put your arms around me
and I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let our love get so close...

You put your arms around me and I'm home

You put your arms around me and I'm home

There's no place like home because a home has that something special that you can't find anywhere else.
