Common, Simple, Beautiful Lyrics

Don't you agree
When they all say
"Home is where the heart is."
But do you see
With every step that you take,
You get further away
From where the heart is.

It's so easy to be blinded
& caught up in the clouds where everything's in a haze
Causing you to forget about the days,
Of the common, simple, beautiful ways.

I remember all the times that I had spent with my friends.
Taking BART to San Francisco just for 350 cents.
Talking, laughing, joking - didn't quite k now what was to come.
Years of memories, irreplaceable fun.

I remember telling mom that I'd make her proud one day.
She would smile and knew exactly all the right things to say.
Man, I miss her & can't wait till I get back to the bay.
Back to the common, simple, beautiful ways.

Isn't it nice,
To simply know,
There's somewhere you can go back to.
So it's a big sacrifice
Everytime that you decide
You can't even if you want to.

It's so easy to be blinded
& caught up in the clouds where everything's in a haze
Causing you to forget about the days,
Of the common, simple, beautiful ways.

I remember all the times that I had spent with my friends.
Taking BART to San Francisco just for 350 cents.
Talking, laughing, joking - didn't quite k now what was to come.
Years of memories, irreplaceable fun.

I remember telling mom that I'd make her proud one day.
She would smile and knew exactly all the right things to say.
Man, I miss her & can't wait till I get back to the bay.
Back to the common, simple, beautiful ways.

So even though,
I am happy now,
I'll never forget where I'm from & how I came to be.

What was common, ended up to be
A very unique treasure I have now decided to keep.

I remember all the times that I had spent with my friends.
Taking BART to San Francisco just for 350 cents.
Talking, laughing, joking - didn't quite k now what was to come.
Years of memories, irreplaceable fun.

I remember telling mom that I'd make her proud one day.
She would smile and knew exactly all the right things to say.
Man, I miss her & can't wait till I get back to the bay.
Back to the common, simple, beautiful ways.

I've just found this beautiful song. I was touched by this song you know, "Home where the heart is". I'm heading to Australia this october , and you know time flies so fast and the closer you are to the day, you feel like you are unprepared and not ready to leave your life here, your family, your friends, especially your mom and dad. I was so excited to go to Australia for studying but the closer i'm to that day , i just feel like can i save more time? can i have some times with my mom ? with my dad? with my sisters? I guess this is what ppl say "Life begins when you leave your comfort zone" Moving to australia is a big step for me the first time i will be soo far with my family , living without maids, drivers, cars, etc are a big difference for me. But its all about chasing your dreams and making your parents proud of you :') " Isn't it nice to simply know there's somewhere you can go back to"
