[Verse 1] Every answer moved before me Like it feared I’d understand I kept measuring tomorrow With a future in my hands Every burden grew familiar Every victory felt brief I confused relentless motion With becoming who I’d be [Pre-Chorus] The farther that I wandered The smaller I became Some things only find you When you stop escaping change [Chorus] I turned and nothing’s chasing me I stopped and saw reality The stone had always waited there For eyes too scared to see I thought I made the center shift I thought I had to carry it I thought the universe revolved around me But I revolved around it [Verse 2] There were names I kept collecting Like they’d somehow make me whole There were answers I protected That were never mine to hold Every season kept repeating Every lesson asked the same How can you outrun forever If forever knows your name [Pre-Chorus] The observer never moved Only I refused to stay Some horizons only open When you face the other way [Chorus] I looked and no one’s hunting me I stood and saw reality The stone had always waited there For who I used to be I thought I was the epicenter I thought I had ignited it I thought the world was circling me But I was moving around it [Bridge] Every fear became an orbit Every orbit looked like fate I kept mistaking movement For the measure of my faith … I turned around… … Was it all inside my mind?… … Nothing followed … Only everything I couldn’t leave behind… [Final Reprise] Blue gathered at the edges Where the morning used to burn The stars were never calling They were waiting for my turn I thought I was the reason I thought I had to answer it I thought the universe revolved around me I was wrong… … I revolved around it… [Outro] (quiet) I stopped running… I saw my own tracks… I stopped moving… And turned back… My past caught me… I let my fears through… I took a step… And started running back to you…
