Verse 1
I moved to a city to call it a home
To start a new life, to feel like I belong
Just unpacked my life, but something feels off
Like I’m standing in the light, but I’m still feeling lost
Pre-Chorus
I smile even when I don’t believe
Say I’m okay, even though I barely breathe
Chorus
I thought I’d find myself out here
A brand-new life, a brand-new year
But every road I’m on feels so unknown
(I don’t know, I don’t know)
I’m learning who I am, trying to find
Some solid ground where I can stand
If this is what they call a home
Why does it feel like I don’t belong?
Verse 2
I’m learning streets, I’m learning names
But it still feels like every day’s the same
I chase the dreams they said were right
But they keep me up most every night
I’m building walls I hope will stay
But they’re cracking more with every day
Pre-Chorus
I tell myself to just give this time
That healing’s slow, but I’ll be alright
Still every step I try to take
Feels heavier, feels like a mistake
(I don’t know if this will feel alright)
Chorus
I thought I’d find myself out here
A brand-new life, a brand-new year
But every road I’m on feels so unknown
(I don’t know, so unknown)
I’m learning who I am, trying to find
Some solid ground where I can stand
If this is what they call a home
Why does it feel like I don’t belong?
Ooooh
Like I don’t belong
[Bridge (Heroic Turn — quieter, then rising]
I smile even though I don’t believe
Still digging through the parts of me
Out here
If this is what they call a home
I don’t see it, I don’t feel it
No—
They’re gonna have to prove me wrong
[pause / build]
Prove me wrong
[Final Chorus (Bigger / Defiant]
I thought I’d find myself out here
A brand-new life, a brand-new year
But every road I’m on feels so unknown
(I don’t know, so unknown)
I’m learning who I am,
I’ll still finds ome solid ground where I can stand
(Where I can stand)
If this is what they call a home
(Call a home)
If this is what they call a home
(If this what, if this what, )
If this is what they call a home
Then I’ll make it mine —just prove me wrong
Ooooh
Yeah, prove me wrong
Tonenico
