Jay Carlin - Streets

I remember when I was 10 years old I would
Ride around every cul-de-sac in this neighborhood
I knew these places better than my own two feet
Suburban arteries and forests made of concrete

Life picked me up and then it carried me so far away from here
Days turned to months, and then the months turned to years
Funny how a piece of ground can make everything feel okay
It's been so long but it's almost like I was here yesterday

These are the streets I grew up on
Sidewalks that I'd ride my bike down
This house where Mom left the lights on
These streets are the streets that I still call home

I remember when this tall tree was still just a seed
Planted there when my Dad deployed to the Middle East
Just like that tree, I'm standing where my story began
It's more than just a house it's where a boy became a man

But life picked me up and then it carried me so far away from here
Days turned to months, and then the months turned to years
Funny how a piece of ground can make everything feel okay
It's been so long but it's almost like I was here yesterday

These are the streets I grew up on
Sidewalks that I'd ride my bike down
This house where Mom left the lights on
These streets are the streets that I still call home

Just standing here again feels strange
Can't bring myself to walk away from this place
Cause now I only want to stay where I am
But sometimes everything must change
To find happiness I had to escape from this cage
But I will not forget those days
Cause these streets are who I am

These are the streets I grew up on
Sidewalks that I'd ride my bike down
This house where Mom left the lights on
These streets are the streets that I still call home

These are the streets I grew up on
Sidewalks that I'd ride my bike down
This house where Mom left the lights on
These streets are the streets that I still call home

These are the streets I grew up on
These streets are the streets that I still call home
These are the streets I grew up on
These streets are the streets that I still call home
These are the streets I grew up on
