Where I’m At

Melodic, Moody, Haunting, Indie Pop, Male vocal, synth wave

[Verse 1]
I did what I was supposed to
Picked a door and walked on through
Called it growth because it changed me
Called it right because I chose

I thought every step was forward
If I never doubled back
Like a life could be a straight line
And getting somewhere made it last

But I’m standing in the answer
To a question I once had
And it looks just like I pictured
It just doesn’t fit me now

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe nothing went wrong
Maybe I just moved on
Maybe changing my mind
Doesn’t mean I wasted time

[Chorus]
This is where I’m at
But it’s not what I signed up for
I thought the next right answer
Wouldn’t leave me wanting more

I kept calling it a future
Just because it came next
Like every choice was a promise
I was never allowed to forget

But I don’t owe forever
To a decision I made one time
I can love who I was when I chose it
And still leave it behind

[Verse 2]
There’s a cost to every freedom
There’s a ghost in every choice
Every yes becomes a no to
Some other life, some other voice

And I used to think that meant
I had to make the perfect call
Like one wrong turn could somehow
Make a failure of it all

So I stayed when I was restless
I smiled when I felt trapped
Because leaving felt like losing
And returning felt like going back

But maybe going backwards
Is just another point of view
Sometimes you have to circle home
To know what home means to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe nothing went wrong
Maybe this is moving on
There are things you only learn
When you let yourself return

[Chorus]
This is where I’m at
But it’s not what I signed up for
I thought the next right answer
Wouldn’t leave me wanting more

I kept calling it a future
Just because it came next
Like every choice was a promise
I was never allowed to forget

But I don’t owe forever
To a decision I made one time
I can love who I was when I chose it
And still leave it behind

[Bridge]
I can quit
I can stay
I can wake up and choose again

I can lose
I can change
I can disappoint somebody on the way

I can miss what I walked away from
And still know why I left
I can want the thing I once gave up
Without calling that regret

There is no clean road
There is no perfect choice
There’s just the life I’m living
And the right to use my voice

[Breakdown]
Maybe freedom isn’t knowing
That the next thing will be right
Maybe freedom is accepting
I might change a thousand times

Maybe life was never asking
For a straight and perfect line
Maybe I was never meant
To choose one life for all of mine

[Final Chorus]
So this is where I’m at
And it’s not what I signed up for
But I don’t need to hate this place
To know I need something more

I won’t call something my future
Just because it happens next
And I won’t turn a choice I made
Into a lifetime of debt

No, I don’t owe forever
To a decision I made one time
I can thank the road for bringing me here
And still leave it behind

[Outro]
This is where I’m at
It doesn’t mean it’s where I’ll stay

I chose this once
I can choose again

And maybe that’s the whole damn point
Of finding your own way.
