Every Road Leads Back To You

[Intro – soft tremolo guitar, distant Mellotron, ambient room noise] Everybody’s looking for a way through But every road leads back to you [Verse 1 – intimate male vocal] I watched people break themselves Just to feel a little less alone Spent their whole lives reaching out Through the dark and through the cold Some find it in a lover’s hands Some in the sound of an old guitar Some in Sunday morning light Or headlights shining through the yard [Pre-Chorus – layered harmonies, drums widen slightly] And all this time I thought we were chasing different things But every prayer every song every memory Pulls on the very same string [Chorus – full band, layered vocals, psychedelic guitars swelling] Every road leads back to you Every road leads back to you No matter where we run to Every road leads back to you [Instrumental – electric guitar, reverse cymbals, driving bass groove] [Rap Verse – relaxed rhythmic cadence, stripped-back groove] Everybody searching for a spark in the static Trying to make sense of the love and the damage Some get lost in the money and the madness Some hold tight just to keep from collapsing But I seen light in the cracks of the pavement Heard truth in the mouths of the nameless Every soul wants a hand when it’s raining Different paths but we all keep tracing Back to the same pulse beating underneath us [Verse 2 – warmer rap, wider atmosphere] I saw strangers help strangers Like they already knew the pain Saw people laugh through broken hearts And still get up and try again There’s something moving underneath us In every dream we’re hanging onto In every moment we call beautiful [Chorus – bigger harmonies, crashing cymbals, swirling synths] Every road leads back to you Every road leads back to you [Bridge – stripped-down drums, soft synth swell] And all this time We were orbiting the same truth Trying to touch something bigger Trying to feel something true [Final Chorus – emotional layered vocals, full psychedelic wash] Every road leads back to you Every road leads back to you Through the loss and through the wonder Every road leads back to you [Outro – quiet drums, fading tape echo, soft vocal doubles] Yeah every road leads back to you I don't know how we'll make it through I just don't know what to do I just know every road leads back to you
