Phone home - remix

[INTRO, sparse and delicate, a single note repeating like a signal being sent] Open your heart Let the light in All the way All the way

[VERSE, intimate, almost fragile, like handling something precious] Life scatters us Fragments break off along the way Old hurts, forgotten parts Pieces left behind to survive The stuck parts remain Waiting in the places You were too tired To go back for

[PRE-CHORUS, comfort arriving before the journey begins, first ghost of the signal] But they didn't leave Still holding your name There is a quiet signal A kind of inner phone call Going out The place inside Still remembers wholeness

[CHORUS, drop, wide and luminous, expansive but grounded] The fragments are not lost They won't abandon their post so easily Still connected Still remembering Still waiting Open your heart And they begin returning One by one Back to the center Back to where love lives

[VERSE, a warning woven into wonder, tone shifting slightly] Imagination is powerful It opens entire worlds Color, movement Layers upon layers But there is a warning Hidden in that power Don't get lost out there Even hell can feel like home If you wander long enough The mind can paint anything Sometimes suffering In incredible detail It takes courage To open that wide And trust the opening

[PRE-CHORUS, the signal going out, mysterious and certain] But they didn't leave Still holding your name There is a quiet signal A kind of inner phone call Going out The place inside Still remembers wholeness

[CHORUS, drop, wide and luminous, expansive but grounded] The fragments are not lost They won't abandon their post so easily Still connected Still remembering Still waiting Open your heart And they begin returning One by one Back to the center Back to where love lives

[BRIDGE, transmission arriving, sparse and otherworldly, almost spoken] [near dry on E.T. Phone Home, then reverb opens wide] E.T. Phone home A message A quiet remembrance Calling the scattered pieces back To where they belong [breath] The essence knows the way It always did

[CHORUS, full drop, euphoric and tender, the journey completing] The fragments are not lost They never were Still connected Still remembering Coming home Open your heart Wide open Feel them coming One by one They're coming home Back to where love lives

[OUTRO, the single note returns, warmer now, fuller, tuned to the root] Open your heart Let the light in All the way All the way
