Lyrics
[Soft Felt Piano Intro]
the porch light spills its small yellow welcome, I arrive.
a suitcase drops with a travelled little thud.
[Verse 1]
you open the door with the same quiet face, soft and certain.
the threshold keeps the print of every return, a warm mark.
the hallway holds the scent of stayed time, breathe and stay.
my shoes leave tracks only this floor knows, I arrive.
[Pre-Chorus]
every mile I traded just to land, calling me back.
the arms open wide and take the road in, we won't part, we won't part.
[Chorus]
home is where you are.
the doorway frames the life I was born for, keeping the light.
your laugh lands soft as the weight leaves my chest, easing the road.
home is where you are.
[Verse 2]
the suitcase rests where the coat rack bends, other homecomings.
you brew the tea that always tastes like us, we sit low.
my cheek meets the exact quiet of your neck, true as dawn.
the hallway holds the scent of stayed time, breathe and stay.
[Chorus]
home is where you are.
the doorway frames the life I was born for, keeping the light.
your laugh lands soft as the weight leaves my chest, easing the road.
home is where you are.
[Bridge]
Oh, you open the door with the same quiet face, let it glow, let it glow.
the threshold keeps the print of every return, I rest now, I rest now.
the hallway holds the scent of stayed time — I am known, I am known.
[Chorus]
home is where you are.
the doorway frames the life I was born for, keeping the light.
your laugh lands soft as the weight leaves my chest, easing the road.
home is where you are.
[Outro]
the porch light spills its small yellow welcome...
home is where you are.
[Fade Out]
[End]
