[Verse 1] My bag is by the door again I’ve learned to fold the goodbyes small You hand me coffee like it’s Tuesday Like this is nothing much at all
But I can see it in the way you move The longer pauses, slower hands I know the reasons and the timeline You know I know, you understand
[Pre-Chorus] I know the why, I know the plan I’ve done the math, I’ve checked the map I just don’t know how to walk away Without looking back
[Chorus] I’m going - my destination - somewhere I don’t have a name for where I’ll be Just a road between here and the moment You’re still here and you’re still waiting for me Call it faith, call it foolish hope Call it love that doesn’t fit a map I’m going not just anywhere but somewhere And I’m coming back
[Verse 2] I’m memorizing everything The way the Sunday light comes through The sound the kettle makes at six The quiet things I only notice next to you
The jokes that never make you laugh out loud But make your shoulders shake anyway The way you always stay up late Just so you can wave me on my way
[Pre-Chorus 2] I know it’s not forever I know the calendar knows my name I just don’t know how to build a home In the in-between
[Chorus 2 - same] I’m going - my destination - somewhere I don’t have a name for where I’ll be Just a road between here and the moment You’re still here and you’re still waiting for me Call it faith, call it foolish hope Call it love that doesn’t fit a map I’m going not just anywhere but somewhere And I’m coming back
[Bridge - bare, acoustic only] Keep my chair at the table Keep the light on when it’s late I’ll call from every time zone From every state and every strange place Just tell me nothing’s changed yet Tell me Sunday still tastes the same Tell me you’re alright there And I’ll hold onto your name
[Final Chorus - key lift] I’m going - my destination - somewhere And the distance doesn’t change what’s true Every road I take from here Is just a longer road back to you Call it faith, call it foolish hope Call it love that always finds a way I’m going my destination is somewhere But I was never really… away
[Outro - guitar fades warm and slow] Keep my chair… Keep the light… I’m coming home. Home to where you and I belong.
