Lyrics
[Intro — low, conversational]
Yeah…
Funny how you spend your whole life
trying to get somewhere else…
Then you finally get there
and miss where you started.
[Hook — hypnotic melodic]
New numbers in the bank
New numbers on the screen
Same kid looking back
At the life he used to dream
Whole crowd knows the Xs
Every night another map
I’ve been running way too far
Just to take the long way back
Long way back
Long way back
Everything keeps moving forward
Still something pulls me back
[Verse 1 — smooth melodic flow]
Used to check it ‘fore I bought it
Now I barely check the tag
Used to wonder if they’d hear me
Now they know me when I land
Had a hundred in my pocket
Had a million on my mind
Every night inside those notes
I was building my design
Now the phone won’t stop ringing
Everybody got a plan
People who ain’t see it coming
Suddenly know who I am
I don’t hate ‘em, I just notice
How the energy can switch
When you’re dreaming, they ignore it
When it’s working, they exist
So I keep the circle smaller
Keep the Xs on my chest
Every door that finally opens
Only makes me want the next
I remember every “maybe”
Every “you should play it safe”
Now the same ones asking questions
’Bout the moves I never gave
[Pre-Hook]
Red eyes, black truck
Another highway after dark
Everything around me changing
But I know just who we are
[Verse 2 — relaxed pocket]
Different city, different room
Another ceiling I don’t know
Another night of people screaming
Then I’m leaving there alone
More eyes when I walk in
More hands when I win
Funny how they call you family
When they finally see it hit
But when everybody leaves me
And the room goes quiet again
There’s one number that I’m calling
I don’t gotta play pretend
Still remember that old driveway
Still remember where we sat
Talking ‘bout the life we’d build
Before we ever had a map
That’s the shit that keeps me grounded
When this life starts moving fast
I can reach for something bigger
Without running from my past
Want the view from way up high
Still remember being low
Every scar became a lesson
Every loss became the road
Desire keeps me reaching
Devotion keeps me straight
Destruction killed the version
That was scared to take his place
[Bridge — stripped]
Maybe one day
I’ll have everything I pictured.
The cars.
The lights.
A thousand people
singing every word.
But after all that noise…
I already know where I’m going.
Back to the ones
who knew my voice
before everybody else did.
[Final Hook — layered]
New numbers in the bank
New numbers on the screen
Same kid looking back
At the life he used to dream
Whole crowd knows the Xs
Every night another map
I’ve been running way too far
Just to take the long way back
Everything keeps moving forward
Still something pulls me back
No matter where this takes me…
I know where I’m ending at.
[Outro — whispered]
Different numbers.
Different rooms.
Same blood.
Same soul.
