[Intro – soft violin texture and distant night ambience] [Verse 1] Streetlights on the pavement Cold air in my lungs Every road behind me Finally feels done Windows in the distance Glow against the rain Someone left the light on Calling out my name [Pre-Chorus] No voice in the distance No sign in the sky Just the sound of breathing As the night goes by [Chorus] Maybe home was never Somewhere far away Maybe it was waiting In the breath I take Every mile I walked tonight Every road I've known Slowly turned the quiet dark Into something like home [Verse 2] Empty streets remember Every step I made Every fear I carried Every debt I paid Now the wind is softer Than it used to be Like the night itself Is walking here with me [Bridge – very quiet] Inhale Still here Exhale All clear [Final Chorus] Maybe home is simply Learning how to stay Maybe all the searching Was just the longer way Every breath reminds me I was never gone I was only walking Till the road felt home
