Where I Could Stay

[Verse 1]
I’ve been counting exits
In every room I enter
Mapping escape routes
From places I thought I wantaàed
You said, “Make yourself at home”
But I forgot what that means
I’m good at temporary
Bad at anything that keeps
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where you put your weight down
Tell me how you choose to stop
I’m still running calculations
Still waiting for the drop
[Chorus]
I’m looking for a place that feels like
More than just somewhere to be
Not a room, not a moment
Something that could hold all of me
Where do you go when you’re tired?
Where do you go when you break?
I’m just looking for a place that feels like
Somewhere I could stay
[Verse 2]
I watch how people settle
Like it’s easy, like it’s done
They plant flags in their decisions
I’m still loading up the gun
Every choice feels like a closing
Every yes becomes a wall
So I keep all my options breathing
Keep refusing every call
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me when you knew you’d landed
Tell me how you made it stick
I’m still checking over shoulders
Still learning the old trick
[Chorus]
I’m looking for a place that feels like
More than just somewhere to be
Not a person, not a purpose
Something that could hold all of me
Where do you go when you’re tired?
Where do you go when you break?
I’m just looking for a place that feels like
Somewhere I could stay
[Bridge]
Maybe home is just a story
We tell ourselves at night
Maybe some of us are built for
Always searching for the light
Or maybe I’m afraid of finding
What I say I’m looking for
Maybe standing still feels more like dying
Than running toward the door
[Chorus – Variation]
I’m looking for a place that feels like
More than just somewhere to be
Not a fix, not an answer
Just something that won’t leave
Where do you go when you’re tired?
Where do you go when it breaks?
I’m still looking for a place that feels like
Somewhere I could stay
[Outro]
Somewhere I could stay
Somewhere I could stay
(Just somewhere I could stay)
