Lyrics

[Intro]
Bag by the door like a heartbeat I don't trust
Streetlight prints its lattice through the dust

[Verse 1]
I slept with laces knotted, shoes within a reach
Mapped every exit by the way the walls would breathe
Keys lived on the hook, never warm in my palm
Toothbrush in the side-zip, folded shirt, false calm
There was a twitch in my feet that kept whispering run

[Build]

[Chorus]
I drop the bag by the door and I don't pick it up
Leave the door unlocked on purpose, let the night rush in
My feet stop counting tiles, they settle, they weigh a ton
I plant my roots right here where I used to run
I plant my roots right here where I used to run (oh)
I plant my roots right here where I used to run

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
I pour the highways from the seams, little gravel maps
Fold the shirt in the drawer, let the past collapse
Keys hang on the hook; I leave the latch undone
Air moves through this room like it chose me to become
My feet talk softer now; they press down, not run

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
I call this room my home with my whole loud chest
Leave the door wide open, let the city catch its breath
Let the floorboards take my name, roots in the wood
I plant my roots right here where I used to run
I plant my roots right here where I used to run (never run)
I plant my roots right here where I used to run

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
I kept a life on standby, zip teeth always set
But every road just folded back into the same unfinished sentence
Staying scares me clean; fear can be a hinge I turn
So I breathe, unlock, and stand inside the burn
(right here)

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
Door open by choice, morning on my tongue
I plant my roots right here where I used to run
