[NINA]
I used to think we lived at the top of the world
When the world was just a subway map
And my thoughts took shape
[NINA/BENNY]
On that fire escape
[NINA]
Can you remind me of what it was like
At the top of the world?
[BENNY]
Come with me
We begin July with a stop at my corner fire hydrant
[NINA]
You would open it every summer
[BENNY]
I would bust it with a wrench
'Til my face got drenched
'Til I heard the sirens
And then I ran like hell
[NINA]
You ran like hell
[BENNY]
Yeah, I ran like hell
[NINA]
I remеmber well
[BENNY]
To your father’s dispatch window
“Hеy, let me in, yo!
They’re comin' to get me!”
[NINA]
You were always in constant trouble
[BENNY]
And then your dad would act all snide, but he’d let me hide
You’d be there inside
[NINA]
Life was easier then
[BENNY]
Nina, everything is easier when you’re home
The street’s a little kinder when you’re home
Can’t you see that the day seems clearer
Now that you are here or is it me?
Maybe it’s just me
We gotta go I wanna show you all I know
The sun is setting and the light is getting low
[NINA]
Are we going to Castle Garden?
[BENNY]
Maybe, maybe not
But way to take a shot
When the day is hot
I got a perfect shady spot
A little ways away that oughta cool us down
[NINA]
Cool us down
[BENNY]
Welcome back to town
[NINA]
Now, back in high school when it darkened
You’d hang out in Bennett Park and—
[BENNY]
And Usnavi would bring his radio
[NINA]
As I walked home from Senior Studies
I’d see you rappin' with your buddies
[BENNY]
With the volume high
[NINA]
I walked on by
[BENNY/COMPANY]
When you’re home
[BENNY]
Oh, the summer nights are cooler
[BENNY/COMPANY]
When you’re home
[NINA]
Now that you’re here with me
[BENNY & COMPANY]
And that song you are hearing (Ooh, ooh)
Is the neighborhood just cheering (Ooh, ooh)
And if you don't know then listen again
You’re gonna change the world and then
We’re all gonna brag and say we knew her when, yeah
This was your home
[NINA]
I’m home
[BENNY]
Welcome home
[NINA]
When you’re here with me
[BENNY]
Welcome home
[NINA]
I used to think we lived at the top of the world
[BENNY]
Welcome home
[NINA]
I’m home
[BENNY, NINA]
You’re finally home (I'm home)
You’re home! (I'm home!)
