[Intro]
(no vocals — layered fingerpicked and gradually widening acoustic guitar progression)

[Verse 1]
You walk like someone carrying weather
Like every room adjusts around you
Not loud
Not trying to be noticed
Still somehow impossible to ignore

And I don’t understand it
Because usually people feel temporary
But with you
Even silence stays longer

[Pre-Chorus]
You make difficult things sound simple
Like survival was always supposed to look graceful

[Chorus]
And maybe that’s why I keep turning back
Like headlights tracing familiar roads
Like there’s something in your orbit
Pulling me farther from who I was

You laugh with your whole chest
Like you forgot how heavy life can get
And somehow when you look at me
The world sounds less crowded

[Verse 2]
You notice tiny things about people
Things they thought were hidden completely
Like the way I pull my sleeves down
When I’m overwhelmed in public

And you never make it obvious
You just shift closer quietly
Like protection doesn’t need permission
To exist beside someone

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep trying to explain you logically
But every explanation falls apart halfway through

[Chorus]
Maybe that’s why I keep turning back
Like distant signals through the trees
Like there’s somewhere beside you
I haven’t been afraid to stand yet

You talk about impossible things
Like they’re already waiting to happen
And every time you smile at me
Something settles underneath my ribs

[Bridge]
I don’t think this is obsession
Or dependency
Or any of the words people use
When they’re scared of needing someone

I just know
The future feels less cold
When you’re inside it

[Final Chorus]
Now every road feels illuminated
Every skyline somehow wider
And maybe I was lonely longer
Than I ever realized before this

Because you make uncertainty feel survivable
You make distance feel temporary
And lately when I picture home
Your voice keeps ending up there too

[Outro]
(soft layered harmonies over acoustic guitar)

You feel like
Northbound constellations

Like something people trusted
Before maps existed
