Lyrics

I used to think time was chasing me…
turns out, it was shaping me
Every year I tried to outrun
Was a place I had to become
Every high, every low
Left a light I didn’t know
I was dancing in the noise
Trying to silence all the voids
Now I hear it crystal clear
Every echo brought me here
I don’t need to hold on tight
Everything is falling right
In the stillness, in the glow
There’s a truth I finally know
This is the afterglow
Of everything I’ve known
I’m not afraid to grow
I’m finally at home
This is the letting go
Of who I used to hold
I don’t need to control
I’m finally at home
All the nights I couldn’t sleep
All the promises I couldn’t keep
Every tear I tried to hide
Was a door I had to find
I don’t blame the roads I took
Every page became my book
Now I read between the lines
And I see my own design
I don’t need to chase the light
It was with me all this time
In the quiet, I can see
There was never less of me
This is the afterglow
Of everything I’ve known
I’m not afraid to grow
I’m finally at home
This is the letting go
Of who I used to hold
I don’t need to control
I’m finally at home
If I could hold my younger self
I’d say “you’re doing well”
Every scar you tried to erase
Is just proof you found your way
There’s no version left to chase
I’ve arrived inside this place
Not perfect… just complete
Standing steady on my feet
This is the afterglow
Where all my pieces flow
I’m not afraid to grow
I’m finally at home
This is the letting go
No longer feeling low
I am the only road
That leads me back to home
Goodbye, my twenties…
you made me
