Wanted to travel wholeheartedly
To experience every second
Of what it means to be in the singular
Eyes attentive on the corners
And the wounds of this world
Taught me how to pray
Oh, I search and can't find my pieces
It's that the hole is deeper
But how I long to go back
Oh, how your scent takes up space
And our chance encounter already has a name: Home
Wanted to silence myself, think inwardly
To know my questions
Lose you to find myself
Wanted to push you away from my thoughts
And the minutes of courage
Made me collapse
Oh, I search and can't find my pieces
It's that the hole is deeper
But how I long to go back
Oh, how your scent takes up space
And our chance encounter already has a name: Home
Certainty, rest, repose, retreat
I mold my body for you
I receive, I push back, I frame you, I portray, I fear
I find myself in you
Oh, I search and can't find my pieces
It's that the hole is deeper
But how I long to go back
Oh, how your scent takes up space
And our chance encounter already has a name: Home
