[Intro]
Wasn't sure I'd make it back
From the haze, from the cracks
But here I am, wide awake
Sky above, and my hands don’t shake
Streetlights flicker like old friends
I walk slow — no rush to end
[Verse 1]
I forgot what color felt like
Wore gray days like a second skin
Routine had me stuck in rewind
Smiling just to blend in
But now the air tastes new again
And I’m not afraid to begin
[Pre-Chorus]
Not chasing highs, not faking peace
Just breathing slow, just finding release
Windows down, heart exposed
It’s not perfect — but it’s close
[Chorus]
Bright again inside my bones
I’m finally not alone
Even in silence, I feel sound
Even standing still, I’ve found ground
No more numb, no more cold
I’m young again, not by age but soul
Yeah I’m lit up, no control
Bright again, and feeling whole
[Verse 2]
I used to scroll through life like feeds
Eyes open, but not seeing me
Chasing meaning in the glow
Of things that never filled the hole
Now the small things shout the loudest
Now I measure time in moments
[Pre-Chorus]
No filter, no fake light
Just the truth that burns bright
Heard my laughter for the first time
And it didn’t sound like a lie
[Chorus]
Bright again inside my bones
I’m finally not alone
Even in silence, I feel sound
Even standing still, I’ve found ground
No more numb, no more cold
I’m young again, not by age but soul
Yeah I’m lit up, no control
Bright again, and feeling whole
[Bridge]
Give me late-night drives, wrong turns
Messy thoughts and honest words
Give me coffee with no plans
Give me time I understand
This isn’t healing with fireworks
It’s softer, realer — it actually works
[Verse 3]
Found joy in a song I almost skipped
Found peace when I let my guard slip
People say we change with age
But maybe we return to center stage
I used to fade to background scenes
Now I’m living in high beams
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not afraid of quiet now
It’s where I finally hear the sound
Of a heart that beat through storms
That never begged to be reborn
[Chorus]
Bright again inside my bones
I’m finally not alone
Even in silence, I feel sound
Even standing still, I’ve found ground
No more numb, no more cold
I’m young again, not by age but soul
Yeah I’m lit up, no control
Bright again, and feeling whole
[Final Chorus]
Bright again, make me shine
I’m not chasing — I’m aligned
I don't need the world to know
I just need to feel this glow
It’s not loud, but it’s alive
This is what it means to thrive
No more numb, no more hold
I’m young again, not by age but soul
[Outro]
Still sparking, still rising
Still here, still surprising
Bright again
And I’m finally alive
