[Intro] [Verse 1] (Smooth, storytelling vocal) Back in the day, lights were always on Shoes kicked off where they don’t belong Grew up thinking I had to chase the dawn Pockets full of gold, but the feeling’s gone [Verse 2] Thought the world held the master key Swapped out cities, tried to break free Held the dream too tight, watched it crack in two Now just a shadow, walking back to you [Pre-Chorus] (Building up, crisp percussion) Walked down every street, turned every bend Just to find a place where I don’t have to defend No need to prove a thing, yeah [Chorus] I’m still on the way back home Drifting with the night wind, taking it slow That old street lamp on the corner bend Shining like a faithful friend I went too far, headstrong and proud Forgot how to breathe, how to leave the crowd The heavy weight of the world I own Drops the moment I make it home [Verse 3] Said I didn’t need the truth revealed Talked real loud just to keep it sealed All those years chasing horizons far Look back now, it was right where we are [Chorus] I’m still on the way back home Dust on my coat, feeling the unknown The door doesn't ask me where I've been Just lights the lamp and lets me in If life is a loop, a detour ride Just to bring me back to your side Then take it slow, let the rhythm roam It ain’t too long, the road to home [Bridge] The world taught me how to fight the war But never how to heal the sore Until I turned, and the noise died down (Pause) Finally heard my heart’s true sound [Final Chorus] I’m still on the way back home! Moonlight guiding, I’m not alone No need to prove, no need to fake Taking off the armor for my own sake If I’m tired, it’s a sign to see Stop the fight, just let it be You ain’t waiting for a reason why Just waiting for me to arrive [Outro] Lay the baggage down, yeah... You don’t have to grow up on your own Lay the baggage down... Just come on home...
