People ask me where's the best place for lunch
And honestly, I don't know
And people say, "Just head to Meridian Street"
But I don't know how to go
Come Friday night, I don't even have my own car
So I'll stay in, who would have thunk
Cause I'm wearing scarlet in a sea of blue
And my friends drink to get drunk
Am I in a foreign land?
Or am I the foreigner?
My hometown or a stranger, I'm not sure
And I've lived here all my life
The place where I was born
But you make this city a home
I never knew about that restaurant up north
The one that's close by your house
We ate lunch there, and then we went to that thrift shop
The one that I just heard about
Am I in a foreign land?
Or am I the foreigner?
My hometown or a stranger, I'm not sure
And I've lived here all my life
The place where I was born
But you make this city a home
If you'll let me, I'd like to spend the night with you
Even maybe two or more, if that's cool
And I've realized that I've been such a fool
Cause home's not a place, it's people, too
Am I in a foreign land?
Or am I the foreigner?
My hometown or a stranger, I'm not sure
And I've lived here all my life
The place where I was born
But you make this city a home
You make this city our home
