[Verse 1]
There's yelling in the hallway
I found refuge on a twin bed of this three-star hotel
I hear the laughter from the TV
Static, Rachel talks to Phoebe about the cat that smells
And I know this place is haunted, oh
I swear I hear somebody knocking, but I can't really tell

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And this outlet's busted
Phone died, and I can't charge it
What a life, man, what a life this is, mmm

[Chorus]
Just me, myself, and nothing
But I taught me how to love it
Home is wherever I live

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah ah
Ah, ah, ah ah

[Verse 2]
I remember I owe mom a call
As I hang my stray hairs on the shower walls for decoration
I wonder what I'd hear if rooms could talk
And I wonder why I'm thinking that at all
I'm going crazy

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And this toilet's rusted
Food came, but I don't trust it
What a life, man, what a life this is, yeah

[Chorus]
Just me, myself and nothing
But I taught me how to love it
Home is wherever I live

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah ah
Ah, ah, ah ah

[Verse 3]
Hard to sleep sometimes with no one by my side
I do my best to find the sense in it
The more the days go by, the more myself and I
Shake hands and realize the benefits of independence

[Pre-Chorus 3]
And it's really something
To make homes of worn-out luggage
What a life, man, what a life this is, yeah

[Chorus]
Just me, myself and nothing
But somehow I've learned to love it
Home is wherever I live

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah ah
Home is wherever I live
Ah, ah, ah ah
Home is wherever I live

Alessia Cara

Alessia Caracciolo is a singer-songwriter from Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Upon the release of her first single, “Here”, she shortened her last name because it was “so long and spelled crazy.”

Cara started posting covers on her YouTube channel at the age of 13. She first started to gain popularity when she posted a cover of Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors.” Soon after, her cover of The Neighbourhood’s “Sweater Weather” took off. These covers got her signed to EP Entertainment and later, Def Jam.

Her first single, “Here” premiered on The FADER on April 27th, 2015, and blew up soon after. Just four months later, the song racked up 18 million Spotify streams in addition to 4.5 million views on its official video.
