Letra
[Verse 1]
I saw the world inside a raindrop,
Every flash became a dream.
Heard a voice from an old car radio,
Saying “don’t fear change — it’s what you need.”
Tried to hold the sky together,
But it slipped right through my trembling hands.
And when I asked the night “where’s home now?”
The echo laughed like a distant friend.
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it’s me —
Reading signs in the clouds,
While the truth is in my chest somehow.
[Chorus]
I carry the world like Atlas,
Though no one told me I should.
Too heavy a plan, too fragile a dream,
When I could just let go — and still be good.
I’m falling slow like stardust,
No maps, no sins, no “shoulds.”
‘Cause sometimes you must lose a whole universe,
To find the self you never could.
[Verse 2]
I measured time in heartbeats,
Not in clocks that chase the day.
People run with worlds upon their backs,
While I just want this moment to stay.
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe that’s fine —
Not knowing the end,
‘Cause every road can turn to home again.
[Chorus]
I carry the world like Atlas,
Though no one told me I should.
Too heavy a plan, too fragile a dream,
When I could just let go — and still be good.
I’m falling slow like stardust,
No maps, no sins, no “shoulds.”
‘Cause sometimes you must lose a whole universe,
To find the self you never could.
[Bridge] (instrumental + vocal “ooh”)
Ooooh…
Every star’s a thought I lose to night.
Ooooh…
The sky still dances — I learn to sleep just right.
[Final Chorus – soft]
I don’t carry the world now,
It carries me like wind.
And for the first time, I don’t fight —
I just exist, and that’s enough within.
I saw the world inside a raindrop,
Every flash became a dream.
Heard a voice from an old car radio,
Saying “don’t fear change — it’s what you need.”
Tried to hold the sky together,
But it slipped right through my trembling hands.
And when I asked the night “where’s home now?”
The echo laughed like a distant friend.
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it’s me —
Reading signs in the clouds,
While the truth is in my chest somehow.
[Chorus]
I carry the world like Atlas,
Though no one told me I should.
Too heavy a plan, too fragile a dream,
When I could just let go — and still be good.
I’m falling slow like stardust,
No maps, no sins, no “shoulds.”
‘Cause sometimes you must lose a whole universe,
To find the self you never could.
[Verse 2]
I measured time in heartbeats,
Not in clocks that chase the day.
People run with worlds upon their backs,
While I just want this moment to stay.
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe that’s fine —
Not knowing the end,
‘Cause every road can turn to home again.
[Chorus]
I carry the world like Atlas,
Though no one told me I should.
Too heavy a plan, too fragile a dream,
When I could just let go — and still be good.
I’m falling slow like stardust,
No maps, no sins, no “shoulds.”
‘Cause sometimes you must lose a whole universe,
To find the self you never could.

[Final Chorus – soft]

It carries me like wind.
And for the first time, I don’t fight —
I just exist, and that’s enough within.
