How to Return Home |
Your bare feet sliding on the old wooden floorboards |
Home, just as you left it, but still you’re shaken |
Like walking into a museum somehow out of time |
It’s all the same, except the girl in the hallway |
Where she’s been and who she will ripen into |
Your childhood’s on the other side of a sprawling divide |
Too wide… |
Take a silent breath |
Hold in the change |
Tell yourself you still live here |
Take your bags upstairs |
It’s the only way you’ll get through today |
Count the hours… |
Take a shower… |
Wash yourself away… |
The house is pulsing with an alien heartbeat |
Was it always here, but you never listened? |
It’s calling you to be the girl that you were way back then |
Again… |
Take a silent breath |
Hold in the change |
Tell yourself you still live here |
Take your bags upstairs |
Put away your clothes, take it nice and slow |
Be their daughter |
Nothing’s harder when nobody knows |
How to return home |
How to return home |
And how to survive |
There’s no written guidelines |
How to go back |
How to show up and unpack |
How to show up |
How to grow up |
How to take a breath |
Take a silent breath |
Hold in the change |
Tell yourself you still live here |
Take your bags upstairs |
You still share a name |
But you’re not the same |
You don’t fight it |
You don’t hide it |
It’s a whole new game of how to return home |
How to return home |
How to return home |
How to return home |
Your bare feet sliding on the old wooden floorboards |
Home just as you left it but still you’re shaken |
