Lyrics

[Intro]
Scuffed soles taste the cold of an endless road
My breath keeps time with the broken white lines

[Verse 1]
Laces pulled tight like a story I don't tell
Heel to toe, fast, past the quiet that could drown me
Mile markers used to be alibis
Every horizon a ladder to escape
I only knew the map that said “away”

[Build]

[Chorus]
Your porch light burning at the end of this street
Every arrow bends, every exit turns to glow
For the first time I'm not running away — I'm running home
Heartbeat on the asphalt, every beat says go
For the first time I'm not running away — I'm running home
I see your open doorway, I don't look over my shoulder
For the first time I'm not running away — I'm running home

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
I still hear the old wind warn me to disappear
Shadow in the window of a passing, sleepless glass
But the road I feared now spells your name in lights
The same night air that chased me fills my lungs

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
I flip the map and feel the ground turn under me
All the roads I used to break now carry me whole
For the first time I'm not running away — I'm running home
I keep my eyes ahead, the distance coming close
For the first time I'm not running away — I'm running home
If you are the light, I'm the miles letting go
For the first time I'm not running away — I'm running home (home)

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
Hold the door and leave the light on — I'm almost there

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
For the first time I'm not running away — I'm running home
Feet slow to still on your warm-lit floor
