I never left that night —
The city kept your shape in the dark
Light spills through the cracks in my voice;
You’d hear it if I lied
So I dive for the kind of truth
That wears my shape alone
Midnight coffee I shouldn’t have poured
Windows breathing the city light
I called it “back then” like it passed —
But last night was the same
Would you smile, shake your head, and stay?
Lately I move to restless beats
Shaking dust from picture frames
Maybe you’d move to them too —
I hate not knowing
The miles between your life and mine
Still answer in echoes;
I set the bar so high it hides in clouds —
Maybe that’s why I don’t sleep full
Every flaw, every reckless dream —
You’ve seen them all and stayed
Somewhere that feels like home…
You froze the whole world that day
Catching my half-smile
Saying, “You see the light no one else could.”
I’m letting those words take root
One day I’ll say, “Because of you,”
And you’ll hear it in a voice so warm
We forget the room around us:
Feels like home, feels like home
I’ll carry those words through the still of 3 a.m
Through songs I’m still afraid to play —
Till your hand finds mine in the dark
Your breath in my ear
The faint hum of the city outside
And our hearts keep the same time
If you’re awake and tracing shadows
Keep this line like a match in your palm
I’ll sing it till the air turns warm —
Feels like home, feels like home
Feels like home… because of you
And nowhere else
