[Verse 1]
Keys in my hand
Shoes in the hallway sand
Office light flicks off, I exhale slow
Coffee stains on my sleeve
Little victories I keep
Like a secret only I would know

[Pre-Chorus]
All day I’ve been chasing minutes
Talking in circles, holding my breath
Now the sky’s turning cotton and gold
And I feel it in my chest (yeah)

[Chorus]
I’m on my way, my way back home
Every step, letting go
Of all the voices, all the noise
Fading as I walk alone
Street by street, I find my own
Quiet lane, peaceful glow
I made it through the ache and the unknown
Just to feel this
Last light on my skin
On my way back home

[Verse 2]
Storefronts dim slow
People with bags and phones
Crossing paths we’ll never really know
I pass that corner café
Where I used to dream all day
Funny how tonight it feels so close

[Pre-Chorus]
All day I’ve been saying “later”
Saving the best parts of me
For this soft little slice of evening
Where I finally get to be (me)

[Chorus]
I’m on my way, my way back home
Every step, letting go
Of all the voices, all the noise
Fading as I walk alone
Street by street, I find my own
Quiet lane, peaceful glow
I made it through the ache and the unknown
Just to feel this
Last light on my skin
On my way back home

[Bridge]
Bag on my shoulder
Heart getting lighter (oh)
Breath getting deeper
World getting quieter
Every tired thought
Drops behind me in the dark
Till it’s only me
And the beating of my heart

[Chorus]
I’m on my way, my way back home
Every step, letting go
Of all the voices, all the noise
Fading as I walk alone
Street by street, I find my own
Porch light on, golden glow
I made it through the ache and the unknown
Just to feel this
Key turning in the door
I’m finally home
