Verse 1

I left with a map folded into my coat

And a name for every town I passed

The miles went by like pages I could not keep

The windows held my face against the glass

Verse 2

I slept where the rain tapped holes in the roof

Bought coffee from a station before dawn

I kept asking strangers where the road would end

As if they knew what I was looking for

Chorus

I thought home was waiting somewhere past the hills

A door left open, a light upon the floor

I crossed the counties, crossed the years

Still carried every locked room with me

Then I turned around and saw

The place I’d been searching for was me
