[Verse 1] You cast aside all that you knew, Chasing skies a deeper blue. Left behind the quiet and the doubt, Took the long way, winding out. There were voices you couldn’t ignore, Calling you to something more. So you slipped right through that open door. [Verse 2] You ran like fire through fields of green, Chasing dreams where you’d never been. The river hummed beneath your feet, A rhythm wild, a pulse complete. The wind was warm, the daylight long, Your heartbeat is like a freedom song, With no thought of where you might belong. [Chorus 1] Maybe you were never meant to stay, Some things bloom and fade away. But what you lost still lingers in the breeze— The part you left behind with ease, Just out of reach. [Verse 3] You burned through nights in neon towns, Tried to stand while the world spun round. But something soft kept pulling near— Where the river runs wide and clear. You searched among strangers, in worn-out bars, Wrote your name beneath the stars, But home still tugged on every scar. [Bridge] It’s not the road, it’s how you roam, The things you learn when you’re alone. You chased the world, then turned around— To find your truth on familiar ground. [Pre-Chorus] It’s not about the miles you made, It’s what remains when memories fade. Sometimes the light was always there— You just forgot to stop and stare. [Final Chorus] Someday, you might piece it all together, Like a thread pulled tight through worn-out leather. And won’t you be surprised when the truth is yours to teach— The missing piece was never far from reach— Just by the river, Just out of reach. [Hook / Outro] You were looking out, but it was looking back— That piece you missed was on your track. Just out of reach… and always near.
