[Verse 1]
I’ve been somewhere in the middle lately
Not who I was, not who I’m meant to be
Tryna find a version I can recognize…
But it keeps changing
I say I’m fine, but I don’t believe it
Some days I talk, some days I don’t mean it
Looking in the mirror like I lost the lines…
That used to guide me
[Pre-Chorus]
Every step feels like a guess right now
Like I’m walking with my eyes closed somehow
[Chorus (open, steel answers)]
I’m somewhere between who I was and who I’ll be… (beeee)
Somewhere between letting go and holding on to me
Every road I take don’t feel like home… (hoooome)
But I’m still walking, I’m not gone
I’m somewhere between
[Verse 2]
I tried changing just to feel something
Different sound, different ways of becoming
But the more I chase what I’m supposed to be…
The less I feel it
I miss the way it used to come out easy
No second guessing, just saying what’s in me
Now I overthink every melody…
Like I’m losing it
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I don’t need to figure it out
Maybe I just need to say it out loud
[Chorus (bigger, layered)]
I’m somewhere between who I was and who I’ll be… (beeee)
Somewhere between letting go and holding on to me
Every road I take don’t feel like home… (hoooome)
But I’m still walking, I’m not gone
I’m somewhere between
[Bridge (stripped, steel heavy)]
[(drums drop, just acoustic + steel)]
If I’m lost… then I’m not alone…
Just means I ain’t found where I belong
[(steel cries between lines)]
And maybe that’s okay for now…
[Final Chorus (lift, emotional)]
I’m somewhere between who I was and who I’ll be
But I’m closer than I’ve ever been to something real in me
Every road I take might not feel like home
But I’m still walking… I’m not gone
I’m somewhere between
[Outro (steel fade)]
[(steel bends, echoing out)]
