[Intro — intimate spoken baritone, solo piano] I knew the word for home. I didn’t know the way. [Verse 1 — fragile piano, distant bass] I could explain the distance. It never made it less. I said I knew myself. I meant I knew the story. I told it for so long, I forgot what I’d left out. [Instrumental — flowing Bach piano, deep melodic bass] [Hook — low baritone, haunting, restrained] The words were mine. The meaning changed. I knew the word for home. I didn’t know the way. [Instrumental — monumental warm sub-bass, slow broken beats] [Verse 2 — intimate, reflective] I waited for an answer that would settle everything. The years did not answer. They changed what I was asking. I still remember how certain I once was. It wasn’t a lie. It was all I knew then. [Extended Instrumental — cascading piano, immense melancholic bass] [Bridge — bare piano, almost whispered] There are things I understand less now. And things I no longer need to explain. [Final Hook — deep, spacious, emotional] The words were mine. The meaning changed. I knew the word for home. I didn’t know the way. [Extended Instrumental — monumental melodic bass, bittersweet release] [Outro — bare piano, almost spoken] Home. I say it differently now. [End]
