[Intro] (...too long) [Verse 1] I used to know the difference Between a season and a stay But somewhere in this circus I forgot to track the days [Male, half-spoken delivery, restrained] I used to know the difference Between a season and a stay But somewhere in this circus I forgot to track the days ( smiled so long the muscle memory took over man, I've been holding up the ceiling with these exhausted hands The morning comes in heavy like it's got something to prove I hold it up like water behind a levy Water that’s forgotten how to move I built a life that looked like everything I said I'd want, But want is just a ghost sometimes of something that you lost [Hook] Sorrow is just joy that stuck around too long It loved me so completely it forgot to move along Sorrow is just joy that stuck around too long It loved me so completely it forgot to move along I'm not broken, I've been weathered I'm not lost, I'm untethered Sorrow is just joy that stayed…too long And joy is on its way back home to me [Verse 2] I stopped pretending The weight was something I deserved And started listening To everything my body had preserved Every ache was just an archive Of da places I have been Every scar or choice a door I walked through to begin [Hook] Sorrow is just joy that stuck around too long It loved me so completely it forgot to move along I'm not broken, I've been weathered I'm not lost, I'm untethered Sorrow is just joy that stayed…too long And joy is on its way back home to me [Bridge] Sorrow is just joy that stuck around too long It loved me so completely it forgot to move along So I'll carry what I carry til the carrying gets light And I'll trust the long way through is still a way to get it right [Outro] Joy is on its way back home... Back home to me
