[Verse 1]
Dorm nights cold, walls talking in silence,
Echoes of parties but I’m lost in the quiet.
FaceTime freezes, old crew stuck in the past,
High school laughs, memories I can’t outlast.
[Chorus]
Eyes on the ceiling, shadows they creep,
Missin' my people, can’t hardly sleep.
Voices distant, they’re still my home,
College crowded, but I’m so alone.
[Verse 2]
Cafeteria food, tastes heavy and hollow,
Laughter at tables, that I can’t follow.
Group chats ping, but it’s all “wish you were here,”
Screens hold comfort, but I need ‘em near.
[Bridge]
Old field lights, Friday nights so young,
Hands in the air, songs we always sung.
Now I’m here, a stranger in the midst,
Missing the bond only home could’ve fixed.
[Chorus]
Eyes on the ceiling, shadows they creep,
Missin' my people, can’t hardly sleep.
Voices distant, they’re still my home,
College crowded, but I’m so alone.
[Verse 3]
Walk down halls like I’m background scenery,
Smiling at strangers, praying they’ll see me.
A million chances to connect, I let 'em go,
Haunted by yesterdays, damn it, I just know.
