About

β™‘ Asteria’s first transmission β€” a homesick little song from somewhere between memory and dreams.

Lyrics

Intro

It's late again

The whole room's quiet

Except for the rain

And something playing through my headphones

I don't know where I'm going

I just know I miss somewhere

I can't remember

Verse 1

There's a photograph underneath my bed

Of a place I swear I've never been

I keep it close like it knows my name

Like maybe I was happier back then

The streetlights blur against the glass

While old songs play from the radio

I close my eyes and let them take me

Somewhere I was supposed to know

Pre-Chorus

Maybe home was never a place

Maybe it was a voice

Maybe it was somebody

I never got to keep

Chorus

I'm homesick for a memory

I'm missing something I can't see

A bedroom, a voice, a midnight sky

A version of me that never said goodbye

And every song keeps pulling me

Back to somewhere I've never been

If home is just a feeling

Then why can't I find my way back in?

Verse 2

I write your name on cassette tapes

Then rewind them till the letters fade

There's something comforting in the static

Like the silence knows what I'm afraid to say

My headphones tangled in my hair

Three in the morning, I'm still awake

The moon is sitting by my window

Like it came here for my sake

Pre-Chorus

Maybe home was the sound of rain

Against somebody's window

Maybe it was the way

The night made everything feel slow

Chorus

I'm homesick for a memory

I'm missing something I can't see

A bedroom, a voice, a midnight sky

A version of me that never said goodbye

And every song keeps pulling me

Back to somewhere I've never been

If home is just a feeling

Then why can't I find my way back in?

Bridge

Maybe I don't need to go back

Maybe there was nothing there

Maybe I'm chasing a feeling

That only existed in my head

But if I find it someday

I hope it sounds like this

A little bit broken

A little bit beautiful

Something I almost missed

Final Chorus

I'm homesick for a memory

But maybe that's okay with me

I'll keep the stars, I'll keep the rain

I'll keep the songs that know my name

And if I never find that place

I'll make a home out of today

Turn the static into music

And let the lonely fade away

Outro

It's late again

The whole room's quiet

Except for the rain

And now I finally understandβ€”

Maybe home

Was never somewhere I had to find.

Maybe home

Was something I could make.
