[Intro] (soft acoustic guitar, warm ambient pad) Mmm… I’m coming back… [Verse 1] That old road still knows my name Same signs, but not the same Dust on boots, dust on time But it still feels like it’s mine Streetlights flicker like they used to do Every corner still leads to you But I’m not the kid I was before Just a shadow of that voice I wore [Pre-Chorus] I left to find a better life But I left something deep inside… [Chorus] Same lights, different me Standing where I used to be Voices of my family Still echo through these streets Same lights, different soul Trying to feel like I’m still home But nothing hits like memory Same lights, different me [Verse 2] Mama’s porch is still the same But I swear I hear my name In the wind when it moves slow Like it never let me go Pictures still hang on the wall Some still smile, some still fall And I don’t know who I became But they still say I look the same [Pre-Chorus] I thought I had to run away To find a place where I could stay… [Chorus] Same lights, different me Standing where I used to be Voices of my family Still echo through these streets Same lights, different soul Trying to feel like I’m still home But nothing hits like memory Same lights, different me [Bridge] (stripped, emotional, almost gospel feel) If home is just a state of mind Why does it hurt every time I try to leave it all behind… Maybe I never left at all Maybe I just learned to fall In a place that still knows me… [Final Chorus] Same lights, different me I can feel what used to be All the love that raised me Still breathing through these streets Same lights, different soul But I finally feel I’m home Nothing else could set me free Same lights… different me [Outro] (soft fade, piano + guitar) Same lights… Same me… Just different… now…
