Small-town nights, secondhand dreams Same old questions haunting me Every time they asked me “Where you from?” I said “Here,” but that wasn’t enough Always felt like something was missing Like a name I never got to listen There was a box in the closet Picture of a man I didn’t know yet Same eyes, same look, looking at me Like a ghost saying “Wait and see” Box in the closet, secrets I kept All these questions in my head I was looking for a face, looking for a sign Trying to find what was already mine Oh-oh-oh, who do I come from? Oh-oh-oh, where do I run to? Years went fast, I found my crew They held me down when I fell through First love hurt but it set me free Showed me I’d be alright eventually I learned my heart could break and mend I didn’t need saving in the end There was a box in the closet Picture of a man I didn’t know yet Same eyes, same look, looking at me Like a ghost saying “Wait and see” Box in the closet, secrets they kept All these questions in my head I was looking for a face, looking for a sign Trying to find what was already mine Heard his name in the back of a room Badge and lights, Louisiana blue Hathian streets, a different life Same blood, but I survived mine I don’t hate him, I don’t blame I don’t need answers to say my name I made it out, I made it strong I’ve been me all along There was a box in the closet, now it’s gone I know who I am, I’ve been all along Same eyes, same fire inside of me But I don’t need him to believe Box in the closet, chapter closed I found my truth on my own road I was looking for a face, looking for a sign Turns out I was already mine. Already mine.
