[Verse 1]
Time spent away
I learned my name
On borrowed roads
With open hands
Enjoying life
In little pieces
A second laugh
A deeper breath
[Pre-Chorus]
I let the weight
Fall off my back
I found my feet
And kept them there
Every mile
Was showing me
What I was missing
When I stayed scared
[Chorus]
Time spent away
Time spent away
I came back stronger
Spending time with friends
Spending time with friends
Made the hard days softer
Thankful for the blessings
Thankful for the blessings
That stayed around me
Time spent away
Time spent away
It set me free
[Verse 2]
Coffee cups
On scratched-up tables
Old stories
We still believe
Rain on roofs
And messy dinners
Your honest smile
Still gets to me
I used to think
I needed more
But what I needed
Was right there
[Pre-Chorus]
I let the weight
Fall off my back
I found my feet
And kept them there
Every mile
Was showing me
What I was missing
When I stayed scared
[Chorus]
Time spent away
Time spent away
I came back stronger
Spending time with friends
Spending time with friends
Made the hard days softer
Thankful for the blessings
Thankful for the blessings
That stayed around me
Time spent away
Time spent away
It set me free
[Bridge]
Maybe I ran
Maybe I healed
Maybe both
Were part of this
Now I can see
The little things
Were holding up
My whole existence
[Final Chorus]
Time spent away
Time spent away
I came back stronger
Spending time with friends
Spending time with friends
Made the hard days softer
Thankful for the blessings
Thankful for the blessings
That stayed around me
Time spent away
Time spent away
I’m home in love
