Life Feels Like Home

[Intro]
Ah-ah, I was running circles
Ah-ah, now I know the ground

[Verse 1]
I kept a score on the kitchen wall
Red marks beside every missed call
Told myself, “One more and I’m free”
But the finish line moved with me

I wore the praise like a borrowed coat
Counted the rooms where my name was known
Then found my hands were empty still
From climbing every borrowed hill

[Pre-Chorus]
I chased a version built to impress
Till I could barely hear my own yes
The door was open, the lock was gone
I was the one still holding on

[Chorus]
I’m not a hunger wearing a face
I’m not a race I have to win today
I take the wheel, I choose the road
I make a life that feels like home

Call me back when the doubt gets loud
I’ll answer clear, I won’t bow down
I was waiting for permission to begin
Now I let the whole self in

[Verse 2]
I left the list by the coffee machine
Kept what was mine, returned the dream
Called my brother, said what I meant
Spent an afternoon without an event

There’s a small red mark on my right-hand thumb
From fixing the chair that the house came from
No headline, no room full of eyes
Just a quiet proof I’m alive

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need a crown to know my name
Or turn each scar into a claim
The part I hid beneath the plan
Was the only part that understood who I am

[Chorus]
I’m not a hunger wearing a face
I’m not a race I have to win today
I take the wheel, I choose the road
I make a life that feels like home

Call me back when the doubt gets loud
I’ll answer clear, I won’t bow down
I was waiting for permission to begin
Now I let the whole self in

[Bridge]
Half time, let the old voice speak
“You’ll disappear if you stop the streak”
I hear it, then I set it down
No throne, no chase, no borrowed crown

I can want more without being less
I can rest without calling it failure
Every breath that I choose to keep
Builds a future my hands can reach

[Final Chorus]
I’m not a hunger wearing a face
I’m not a race I have to win today
I take the wheel, I choose the road
I make a life that feels like home

Call me back when the doubt gets loud
I’ll answer clear, I won’t bow down
I was waiting for permission to begin
Now I let the whole self in

[Outro]
Ah-ah, no more borrowed skin
Ah-ah, let the whole self in
I take the wheel, I choose the road
I make a life that feels like home
