Verse 1)Packed the bags and left the rain behindTraded old routines for a brand new frame of mindBoarded the flight with a one-way ticket tight in handChasing the horizon to an ancient, sun-drenched landNow the wheels touch down, I can feel the change in the airGoodbye to the past, I’m finally there.(Chorus)Oh, I’m moving to Athens, where the white stone meets the blueWalking down the cobblestones, starting something newUnderneath the shadow of the ancient temple highI’m rewriting my story under the Aegean skyKaliros, Plaka, Monastiraki squareI’ve found my new home, and I’m breathing in the air.(Verse 2)The morning sun hits the balcony just rightWaking up the city in a brilliant, golden lightFeta and bougatsa, and a coffee on the streetListening to the rhythm of a thousand passing feetThe language is a puzzle that I’m learning day by dayBut the warmth of the people shows me the way.(Chorus)Oh, I’m moving to Athens, where the white stone meets the blueWalking down the cobblestones, starting something newUnderneath the shadow of the ancient temple highI’m rewriting my story under the Aegean skyKaliros, Plaka, Monastiraki squareI’ve found my new home, and I’m breathing in the air.(Bridge)When the evening settles and the city starts to glowThe neon lights of Psyri put on a nightly showBouzouki music drifting from a tavern down the laneAnd suddenly I realize I’ll never be the sameThe dust of history, the buzz of modern lifeStepping out of the shadow, stepping out of the strife.(Guitar/Bouzouki Solo)(Chorus)Oh, I’m moving to Athens, where the white stone meets the blueWalking down the cobblestones, starting something newUnderneath the shadow of the ancient temple highI’m rewriting my story under the Aegean skyKaliros, Plaka, Monastiraki squareI’ve found my new home, and I’m breathing in the air.(Outro)Yeah, the Acropolis is shining in the nightEverything feels open, everything feels rightA new chapter begins, the Mediterranean breezeLiving out my days just exactly as I pleaseAthens, I’m home.Athens, I’m home.lots
