Verse 1 Whoooooooo Wooo-ooo, wooo-oooo, wooo-ooo There was a hidden place My essence written on the star maps Before I had a name Before I knew to look back Constellations fell Upon the ink inside my hands And every wall I touched Opened into distant lands I was astral born Of stardust wonder A lighter soul That lived beneath the thunder An ancient winged wanderer With nowhere left to be I think I spent my whole life Trying to find that part of me ⸻ Pre-Chorus My stars searched within Through every window of my gaze Looking for the stranger Who was happy in the haze ⸻ Chorus I just miss who I was Who I never even knew The unknown me Who found the world brand new Before I needed everything To make life feel extraordinary I miss the bliss Of not knowing what I’d lost I miss the child inside the man Before I counted every cost Come back home My gleaming light I didn’t know you then But I miss you every night ⸻ Verse 2 I remember when Leaving the house was enough A road could be an adventure And the ordinary was love I didn’t need a reason I didn’t need the perfect day Didn’t need the world to prove There was magic on the way Then somewhere in the knowing Something beautiful grew cold The more I learned about the world The less wonder it could hold More things More dreams More reasons to believe And somehow needing everything Left nothing I could need ⸻ Pre-Chorus I entered a room Of winter nebula No sun Frozen velvet dark And every star that used to guide me Felt a million miles apart ⸻ Chorus I just miss who I was Who I never even knew The unknown me Who found the world brand new Before I needed everything To make life feel extraordinary I miss the bliss Of not knowing what I’d lost I miss the child inside the man Before I counted every cost Come back home My gleaming light I didn’t know you then But I miss you every night ⸻ Bridge And maybe you were never gone Maybe I just learned to hide My innocence behind experience My wonder behind pride My sensitivity became weakness My imagination learned to fear And vulnerability became a door I was too afraid to leave unsealed But songs still come Demanding to be built From pain inside the refrain Maybe every word I’m writing Is calling you again Maybe every broken chorus Is a map back through the dark Maybe the person I am missing Still remembers who I was ⸻ Final Chorus I just miss who I was Who I never understood The unknown me Who was happy because he could Before I needed everything Before nothing could fulfill Before extraordinary moments Had to happen just to feel Now nothingness fills everything Where wonder used to be And I search the stars For the stranger Who is still inside of me Come back home My gleaming light Ancient winged wanderer Come back home tonight I didn’t know you then But maybe that’s the beauty I was happy with the mystery Before I needed everything To feel extraordinary ⸻ Outro Whoooooooo… Wooo-ooo… My essence written On forgotten star maps The unknown me The bliss The light Still somewhere Inside.
