[Verse 1]
You left your sweater on the back seat
Smelled like rain and old perfume
I drove in circles past the exit
Couldn’t make myself choose
Every traffic light a question
Every song just pulled me through
Staring at the empty passenger
Like I was missing more than you
[Pre-Chorus]
I lost the map inside my chest
Tried to outrun what I confessed
But every road
Every road led back
[Chorus]
I’m coming home
Back to where the fire was
Back to every broken promise
We were too afraid to touch
If there’s a way
To turn these ashes into trust
I’ll walk the miles
I’ll pay the cost
I’m coming home
To where we lost
And found our love
[Verse 2]
Days blurred into distant cities
Cheap hotels and plastic keys
Told your picture on my phone screen
“I’m alright” but I could hardly breathe
Every crowd a faded echo
Every cheer a hollow sound
’Til the quiet in the airport
Said it’s time to turn around
[Pre-Chorus]
I traced your name across my hand
Like a border I could finally cross
I packed my pride into a suitcase
Ready to admit what I’d done wrong
[Chorus]
I’m coming home
Back to where the fire was
Back to every broken promise
We were too afraid to touch
If there’s a way
To turn these ashes into trust
I’ll walk the miles
I’ll pay the cost
I’m coming home
To where we lost
And found our love
[Bridge]
Will you be there in the doorway
Or just a shadow on the floor? (oh)
If I knock and no one answers
Do I wait or turn once more?
But hope is louder than the heartbreak
Tonight I let it lead me on
’Cause every scar we ever carried
Spells your name and says “hold on”
[Chorus]
I’m coming home
Back to where the fire was
Back to every broken promise
We were too afraid to touch
If there’s a way
To turn these ashes into trust
I’ll walk the miles
I’ll pay the cost
I’m coming home
To where we lost
And found our love
[Chorus]
I’m coming home
Back to all the shattered glass
Back to every silent moment
We were scared the storm would pass
If there’s a chance
To turn this wreckage into us (into us)
I’ll lift the weight
I’ll bear the cross
I’m coming home
To where we lost
And found our love (ooh)
I’m coming home
To where we lost
And found our love
You left your sweater on the back seat
Smelled like rain and old perfume
I drove in circles past the exit
Couldn’t make myself choose
Every traffic light a question
Every song just pulled me through
Staring at the empty passenger
Like I was missing more than you
[Pre-Chorus]
I lost the map inside my chest
Tried to outrun what I confessed
But every road
Every road led back
[Chorus]
I’m coming home
Back to where the fire was
Back to every broken promise
We were too afraid to touch
If there’s a way
To turn these ashes into trust
I’ll walk the miles
I’ll pay the cost
I’m coming home
To where we lost
And found our love

Stijl van muziek
pop, Epic cinematic pop ballad with male vocals, starting on sparse piano and distant pads, almost a whisper. First verse intimate and close-mic, then percussion swells into a widescreen pre-chorus. Huge Eurovision-style chorus with soaring strings, tom builds, and stacked gang harmonies. Second pass adds pounding drums and synth bass for lift. Final chorus modulates up with choir layers, cymbal crashes, and a long, emotional vocal ad-lib over the outro., ballad, emotional, dramatic, eurovision
