Coming Back to Mine

[Verse 1: Female]
Your calendar's crowded, your coffee goes cold
Three borrowed opinions, five plans to uphold
You say yes at the doorway, then race to the next
With your own little wanting left out of the text

[Pre-Chorus: Female]
When did your compass get passed hand to hand?
Come back to the quiet and see where you stand

[Chorus: Duet]
I’ve been giving my pieces away
Till I can’t hear the words I would say
Let the rooms empty out, let the long list unwind
I’m still here underneath all the things on my mind
I’m coming back, I’m coming back to mine

[Verse 2: Male Rap]
You carry their deadline, their dream, their doubt
Make every small fire your job to put out
New folder, new promise, same tired face
You vanish politely to keep up the pace
Now shut one door, let one answer wait
A life isn’t measured by how much you take
Pick up the sketchbook, the strings, that old key
What did you love when nobody watched? Start there with me

[Pre-Chorus: Female]
When did your compass get passed hand to hand?
Come back to the quiet and see where you stand

[Chorus: Duet]
I’ve been giving my pieces away
Till I can’t hear the words I would say
Let the rooms empty out, let the long list unwind
I’m still here underneath all the things on my mind
I’m coming back, I’m coming back to mine

[Bridge: Male and Female]
No more shrinking to fit every frame
No more answering before I know my name
One clear breath, one honest choice
I can hear the small, familiar voice

[Final Chorus: Duet]
I’ve been giving my pieces away
Now I’m calling the scattered parts home today
Let the rooms empty out, let the long list unwind
I’m still here, and I’m learning what feels like mine
I’m coming back, I’m coming back to mine
(Back to mine, back to mine)

[Outro]
One honest choice
One familiar voice
I’m coming back to mine
