Something about me stays with that Rockville home When the world was smaller, and I didn't feel so alone But I close my eyes and I am back in my old bed again Where my dreams were free to roam Something about me stays with that Rockville home Something about me stays with Corolla's skies When the world was safer, and it was okay to cry But I close my eyes and I am back at that old lighthouse That amazed my childhood mind Something about me stays with Corolla's skies But suddenly everything changes Like a still pond that's hit by a stone I'm in California I feel alone Something about me stays with that first year in Arizona When the world was simpler, and I didn't feel so worn out But I close my eyes and I am back with my old friends again And I begin to smile
