Lyric

Windows slide

Cities stretch and fold

Steel humming underneath

I’m still moving

Seats in a row, passing signs

Names I don’t need anymore

My hands feel older than they should

Holding time instead of hope

I learned how to stay alert

How to sharpen every edge

Somewhere between arrival and work

I forgot what I came here with

The noise trained me well

I don’t flinch, I don’t slow

But something in my chest

Never learned that lesson

I’m heading back

Not to fix anything

Just to let it reset

Same roads

Different weight

I don’t fit like I did

But I still need this place

I remember leaving early

The window shakes, then settles

Bag too light, heart too loud

Every window felt like an answer

Every step felt allowed

Now the answers come measured

The speed sign blurs past

Every step has a cost

I gained a sense of survival

And misplaced what I was

I don’t hate who I became

I just don’t want him alone

There’s a version of me waiting

That never learned to stay cold

I’m heading back

Not to stay the same

Just to breathe without defense

Same station

Different pace

I don’t belong like before

But I still need this place

The air is lower here

Sounds don’t rush to compete

My shoulders drop before I notice

The ground remembers my feet

I’m here now

Nothing solved

Nothing lost

Just the quiet return

Of someone I almost forgot

Doors open

The motion ends

I’m not a child

But I’m less guarded

Standing here

Not younger

Just open
