Let The Road Come To Me

Verse 1

Streetlamps flicker, they murmur my name

I swear I walked this trail before

Turned left, counted every single tree

But the wind blows backward, knocks me down

Staring at houses, paint peeling just the same

I'm stuck inside this loop, and I lose again

Pre-Chorus

The compass spins, the needle's dead

Chasing a ghost down a road that leads nowhere

I can see my door, so clear inside my head

But the more I run, the further it drifts away

Chorus

I walk toward the light, then I fall into the dark

Every step ahead just breaks the goal apart

The tighter I reach, the further goes the key

Running in circles under the same old sky

The road stretches out, drags me down below

I'm a million miles from a home I've never known

Verse 2

Soles are bleeding, the asphalt's cold

Shadows repeat like a story already told

I see my own tracks in the dust up ahead

Walking backward like I'm already dead

Running till my lungs burn, screaming at the night

But there's no dawn breaking, and there's no light

Pre-Chorus

The compass spins, the needle's dead

Chasing a ghost down a road that leads nowhere

I can see my door, so clear inside my head

But the more I run, the further it drifts away

Chorus

I walk toward the light, then I fall into the dark

Every step ahead just breaks the goal apart

The tighter I reach, the further goes the key

Running in circles under the same old sky

The road stretches out, drags me down below

I'm a million miles from a home I've never known

Bridge

So I stop

Sit down on the curb in the pouring rain

I close my eyes

I quit fighting these chains

If every step ahead just pushes it away

If the harder I try the more I lose my way

Maybe if I stand still, maybe if I let it go

The home I chase will finally come on its own

Build

Oh, it's coming

Yeah, it's coming for me

Final Chorus

I walked toward the light, then I fell into the dark!

Every step ahead just broke the goal apart!

The tighter I reach, the further goes the key

Running in circles under the same old sky

The road stretches out, drags me down below

I'm a million miles from a home I've never known

Outro

Still not home

But I'm not running anymore

Just sitting right here

Waiting on the door

Let the road come to me

Let it come

Mmm
