Backstory:

Started writing this as a jingle for Nationwide but then I decided to make a full length song out of it.                                                                            

Lyrics:

                                                  
Verse:

I can spot it before I pull into the yard of the home where my parents still live

That dollhouse Dad built which played a big part in me making a lot of new friends 

And that weathered old swing hanging from the porch where I'd drift back and forth in the sun

It creaks a bit now but it's still secure as the day when it was first hung 

Pre Chorus:
The feelings I get approaching these steps 
Remind me of being a kid again 

Chorus:

When I walk thru that door at once I'm transformed 

Into that wide eyed little girl that I was before 

Playing make-up and dress up like a fairy princess

Feels good to stay here and wake up in my old childhood bed 

Verse:

How many friends and kin have crossed that welcome mat lying outside the front door

After all these years it's still in tact and justifiably worn

Upstairs on the walls are reminders of all the artwork I did as a kid

And a picture of me missing two front teeth that I wish Mom would've kept hid 

Pre Chorus:
The feelings I get approaching these steps 
Remind me of being a kid again 

Chorus:

When I walk thru that door at once I'm transformed 

Into that wide eyed little girl that I was before 

Playing make-up and dress up like a fairy princess

Feels good to stay here and wake up In my old childhood bed 

Bridge:
Every fixture holds a memory in the history of this house for me 

Chorus:

When I walk thru that door at once I transform

Into that wide eyed little girl that I was before 

Playing make-up and dress up like a fairy princess

Feels good to stay here and wake up In my old childhood bed
