[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots road stretched long ahead
Eyes on the horizon heart heavier than lead
Breath of the fields the scent so bittersweet
Every step pulls me closer memories I can't defeat
[Chorus]
I'm back home but it don't feel the same
Echoes of laughter like whispers in the rain
First loves first heartbreaks play on repeat
But the corner store’s a shadow dreams turned concrete
[Verse 2]
Walls once towering now brittle with years
The past paints my face with its uncried tears
The swings in the park creak with ghosts of joy
Where I once was a man but felt like a boy
[Chorus]
I'm back home but it don’t feel the same
Echoes of laughter like whispers in the rain
First loves first heartbreaks play on repeat
But the corner store’s a shadow dreams turned concrete
[Bridge]
The laughs are trapped where the sunlight fades
In the cracks of the steps where my bare feet played
Nothing stays still time's a thief ruthless
The air stands heavy it's raw it's truthless
[Verse 3]
I left for dreams and found only scars
But I’d trade it all just to relive those stars
The lights of home distant yet too bright
Burning away all I’ve clung to so tight
