As The Crow Flies

I disappear into the static noise

Chasing ghosts of what I think I need

Walls go up without me knowing why

You just wait me out so patiently

I come back hollow, come back weathered

You don’t ask for where I’ve been

Just hold the door like you’ve been holding

Every version I have ever been

(Pre-Chorus)

No matter how I wander

No matter how I drift

You are the fixed point

Every reckoning begins with

(Chorus)

As the crow flies, I find my way to you

Through the storms I made, through the cold I drew

Every broken road, every borrowed mile

Leads me back to you

Back to you

Sometimes it’s the silence between us

Words that sharpened into blades

I said things I can’t unsay now

You stood your ground till the fire faded

And I don’t know how you do it

Hold your love above the fray

But something in you keeps the porch light on

No matter how long I’ve stayed away

(Pre-Chorus)

No matter how I wander

No matter how I drift

You are the fixed point

Every reckoning begins with

(Chorus)

As the crow flies, I find my way to you

Through the storms I made, through the cold I drew

Every broken road, every borrowed mile

Leads me back to you

Back to you

(Bridge)

Oceans between us, rooms between us

Weeks of not knowing how to speak

You don’t demand I come back perfect

Just that I come back

Come back to you

(Final Chorus)

As the crow flies, I find my way to you

Through the distance and the doubt I worked through

Straight as instinct, sure as north is north

You call me home

I’m coming home, sure as the crow flies

I’ll fly back to you
