I trace the lines on the windowpane,Dreams of here and
dreams of away,The stillness whispers,
“Stay awhile,”But the road calls in its beguiling style.
A suitcase waits by the door,Heavy with things
I can’t ignore,A piece of me is left behind,But forward
pulls this heart of mine.
I’m leaving though I long to stay,Caught in the ache of yesterday,A
world beyond is calling me,But home’s a tether
I can’t quite free.Oh, torn between here and gone,
This is where my heart belongs.
The fading light turns gold to gray,Echoes
of laughter beg me to stay,But shadows form on the
horizon line,Whispering dreams that could be mine.
Each step feels like a gentle goodbye,To love’s embrace
and the lullaby,The pull of freedom, the weight of
love,Two forces I can’t let go of.
I’m leaving though I long to stay,Caught in the
ache of yesterday,A world beyond is calling me,
But home’s a tether I can’t quite free.Oh,
torn between here and gone,This is where my heart belongs.
The wheels will turn, the miles will fade,But
memories hold the promises made.The further
I go, the clearer I see,The road back home lives inside of me.
I’m leaving though I long to stay,Caught in the ache of
yesterday,A world beyond is calling me,But home’s a tether
I can’t quite free.Oh, torn between here and gone,
This is where my heart belongs.
So I’ll carry you wherever I roam,In the echoes,
I’ll find my home,A heart that’s split in two,One
half with me, the rest with you.
