[Intro] (guitar riff, building drums) [Verse 1] I finally reached the highest floor The lights were on, the lock was gone I stood there like I owned the view Like every step had been the one The city looked the way they said The kind of quiet that feels like proof [Pre-Chorus] But the air up here won’t settle right Something’s missing in the light [Chorus] I made it this far just to realize There’s one thing I left behind And nothing up here will ever feel right Until I go back for it But the door behind me closed when I arrived And the stairs don’t run that way I can’t go back to fix the thing That makes the rest of this okay [Verse 2] They handed me the keys and said “This is what you wanted, right?” I nodded like the answer fit While something in me stayed outside I keep replaying the last turn The one I took without a fight [Pre-Chorus] Now every win still feels off-key Like the song’s missing one line [Chorus] I made it this far just to realize There’s one thing I left behind And nothing up here will ever feel right Until I go back for it But the door behind me closed when I arrived And the stairs don’t run that way I can’t go back to fix the thing That makes the rest of this okay [Bridge] I can see the spot from here Where I should’ve turned around It’s clear enough to name it But too far to reach it now I keep telling myself I’ll live with it But the weight won’t let me down Some things only work If you never leave the ground [Final Chorus] I made it this far just to realize There’s one thing I left behind And nothing up here will ever feel right Until I go back for it But the door behind me closed when I arrived And the stairs don’t run that way I can’t go back to fix the thing That makes the rest of this okay [Outro] (I can’t go back) (I can’t go back)
