Don't you remember

Abuela at the breakfast table

Pan dulce and café

While the sun came through the window

Playing with the niños

Barefoot in the street

Life felt like forever

Back when we had everything

Señora Maria laughing

Walking slow with her friend

Trading all the chisme

Like the story wouldn't end

Now the streets are quiet

But I still hear the sound

Funny how a thousand miles

Can't turn the memories down

Ain't it hard

Tryna make a new start

New city, new sky

But the same old heart

So when I'm feeling down

I take a piece of you with me

Even though I'm far away

I know my home will never leave me

I crossed the border line

But the border never crossed me

Miles between our worlds

But your love is where I still be

Take a piece of you with me

Every road reminds me

Don't you remember

The smell of summer nights

Kids yelling in the alley

Under yellow streetlight

Mothers calling loudly

"Come back in the house!"

But we'd sit on the porch

Till the stars came out

Dreams were always bigger

Than the blocks we knew

But nobody told us

Dreams can make you blue

Now I'm chasing futures

In a city made of steel

But every crowded street

Still asks me how home feels

Ain't it hard

Tryna make a new start

Different language now

But the same old heart

So when I'm feeling down

I take a piece of you with me

Even though I'm far away

I know my home will never leave me

I crossed the border line

But the border never crossed me

They can change my address

But my roots are where my heart be

Take a piece of you with me

Every road reminds me

Even though I'm not around

I know my home will never leave me

Maps can draw the distance

But they can't erase the feeling

Crossing borders endlessly

Chasing who I'm meant to be

But wherever life may lead me

I take a piece of you with me
