Same Route

[Intro] (mmm...) [Verse 1] I take the long way home again tonight Past the shop that never changed its sign Nothing's waiting for me at the end of it But my feet still know every crack by heart [Pre-Chorus] I don't expect the lights to change I don't expect a different door I just keep moving through the quiet Because the quiet still knows my name [Hook] Same route Same corners turning through the dark Same route The only ground that still feels known I don't need a reason I don't need another direction I just need the path That still remembers how I walk [Verse 2] I pass the corner where we used to stop The streetlight hums its familiar note I don't slow the way I used to then But something in me always turns to look Even after all this time Some places never finish speaking [Pre-Chorus] I don't count the nights behind me Or measure what has changed I just let the silence settle Like an old coat on my shoulders Some roads stop feeling lonely When they learn your weight [Hook] Same route Same corners turning through the dark Same route The only ground that still feels known I don't need a reason I don't need another direction I just need the path That still remembers how I walk [Bridge] Maybe one night I'll miss the turn And never think to turn around Maybe home is only borrowed Until another road begins to fit Until then I follow footsteps Only I still recognize [Final Hook] Same route Same corners turning through the dark Same route The only ground that still feels known I don't need a reason I don't need another direction I just need the path That still remembers who I am [Outro] (mmm...) Still walking Same route Until the road forgets my name
