[Verse 1] I count the rooms I never entered Names I carried, names I shed Every answer grows a question Turning circles in my head I keep a notebook by the kettle Maps of places I outgrew Cross out every promised version Leave one honest line for you [Pre-Chorus] If I stop, what will I hear? If I win, what disappears? [Chorus] Who am I when no one needs a reason? Who am I beneath the borrowed skin? I keep climbing through the changing seasons Just to find the door was locked within Call my name, call my name Let the old disguise fall down Call my name, call my name I am still becoming now [Verse 2] There’s a photograph in the hallway Me at nine with scuffed-up knees He believed the world was larger Than the things that frightened me Now I trade my days for numbers Trade my sleep for being seen But the child inside the frame asks Is this all you meant to be? [Pre-Chorus] If I’m more, why do I hide? If I’m free, what holds the tide? [Chorus] Who am I when no one needs a reason? Who am I beneath the borrowed skin? I keep climbing through the changing seasons Just to find the door was locked within Call my name, call my name Let the old disguise fall down Call my name, call my name I am still becoming now [Bridge] Lower the room, let the pulse remain Put every title down like a chain No grand reveal, no perfect proof Just my two feet on an unfinished truth [Final Chorus] Who am I when no one needs a reason? Who am I beneath the borrowed skin? I stop running from the changing seasons Turn the handle, let the daylight in Call my name, call my name Let the old disguise fall down Call my name, call my name I am still becoming now I am still becoming now [Outro] One honest line One open door I don’t need to be somebody more
