Home After Dark

Keys in my hand, steady and slow Streetlights fade in a softer glow I walked far just to clear my head Nothing chasing what I left Cold night air in my lungs Every mile quietly undone All the noise I tried to be Falls away so easily I don't need another road tonight I don't need a brighter sign Every step I thought I'd take Was already mine I was searching in the dark For something I could prove But the quiet in my heart Was all I had to choose Shoes by the door, room still and thin Breathing slow as I step in All the words I couldn't say Lose their weight and drift away No more racing every thought No more battles never fought All the doubts I held too tight Fade beneath a softer light I don't need another road tonight I don't need to run and hide All the miles I thought I'd need Were just inside I was restless for so long Trying to feel enough Now the silence feels like home And that is enough If tomorrow shifts again I will let it move I don't need to chase the end I've got nothing left to prove Final Chorus (gentle, airy) I don't need another road tonight I don't need a different sky Every step I took alone Brought me back inside In the quiet of the dark There is nothing left to find I am home after dark And I am mine
