Where I Started

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I traced the cracks along the kitchen tile Counted every turn that took a while Packed one shirt beneath the passenger seat Told myself the road would set me free [Pre-Chorus] But every door I leaned against Opened to the same old room again [Chorus] Thought I found a way, thought I found a way out Saw the morning through the windshield, felt my fear run out But the miles kept folding back beneath these worn-out tires Thought I found a way, thought I found a way out Still I’m standing where I started, asking what this doubt’s about With your name inside the silence and the engine running quiet [Verse 2] Left the porch light burning in the rain Watched the red taillights fade beyond the lane Had your voicemail saved but never played Some goodbyes grow heavier when they’re delayed [Pre-Chorus] And every road I promised I would take Bent toward the choices I was scared to make [Chorus] Thought I found a way, thought I found a way out Saw the morning through the windshield, felt my fear run out But the miles kept folding back beneath these worn-out tires Thought I found a way, thought I found a way out Still I’m standing where I started, asking what this doubt’s about With your name inside the silence and the engine running quiet [Bridge] Maybe leaving isn’t distance Maybe freedom isn’t gone Maybe I can face the doorway With the lights already on [Final Chorus] Thought I found a way, thought I found a way out Now I know the road was only showing me what I was running from I can turn the key and stay here, let the old fear expire Thought I found a way, thought I found a way out Now I’m standing where I started, but I’m not the same somehow With your name inside the silence, I can finally say it loud [Outro] I can finally say it loud
