Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] Cracked pavement whispers old names Faded signs Memories remain The diner’s gone But the smell of rain Still hits like it used to [Prechorus] Every corner’s a ghost Every street a host To what I lost [Chorus] Back to the start Where it all began A stranger’s face in a stranger’s land Familiar skies But the ground feels cold Back to the start But I don’t feel whole [Verse 2] The park’s still there But the swings don’t creak Graffiti’s fresh But the walls still speak Saw my reflection in a cracked boutique It looked right through me [Chorus] Back to the start Where it all began A stranger’s face in a stranger’s land Familiar skies But the ground feels cold Back to the start But I don’t feel whole [Bridge] The river runs But the banks have shifted The trees still grow But their roots feel twisted Time carved its name in the town I knew And I’m just passing through
