[Verse 1 – warm, reflective] I woke up to the quiet you left behind, Sunlight on the sheets where your shadow used to lie. The world keeps spinning loud outside my door, But in here it’s still us, like it was before. I’ve been carrying the weight of little things— Your coffee cup, the way my phone still rings With the voice note you sent when you couldn’t sleep… Some memories are too soft to ever keep. [Pre-Chorus – rising gently] And maybe time is just a gentle thief, Stealing days but leaving sweet relief. And maybe missing you is how I know Love can live in places people go. [Chorus – beautiful, catchy, heart-lifting] You’re the light in my pocket When the hours feel cold, The warmth that I hold When I’m not in control. One day without you felt like wandering alone— But you’re still the way That brings me back home. I swear, even twenty-four hours away, You light up the dark like it’s always been day. You’re the light in my pocket— I carry you with me Every day. [Verse 2 – tender, universally relatable] I walked the streets we used to call our own, Every corner sings the songs we’ve known. Funny how the world can feel so wide When the one you love isn’t by your side. But I smiled at strangers, let the wind run through, Felt the space you left start to heal into Something quiet, something brave and new— Turns out I’m still me, because I still have you. [Pre-Chorus – hopeful lift] And maybe love isn’t only holding tight, It’s trusting the dark still turns into light. And maybe one day apart just showed How deep these roots have already grown. [Chorus – bigger, emotional swell] You’re the light in my pocket When the hours feel cold, The warmth that I hold When I’m not in control. One day without you felt like losing my own— But you’re still the way That brings me back home. I swear, even twenty-four hours away, You light up the dark like it’s always been day. You’re the light in my pocket— I carry you with me Every day. [Bridge – cinematic, soft then soaring] When the night feels too heavy And I’m scared I’ll forget, You live in my chest Like a song not finished yet. Every heartbeat echoes Every word you ever said— One day was just practice For the forever ahead. [Final Chorus – soaring, tears-in-eyes beautiful] You’re the light in my pocket When tomorrow feels cold, The promise I hold When the story gets old. One day without you taught me what I know— Love doesn’t leave It just teaches you home. And I swear, every second, every breath I take, You’re the reason my heart still knows its way. You’re the light in my pocket— And somehow, somehow… One day apart Only brought me Closer to you. [Outro – whispered over soft piano] Come home when you’re ready… I’ve been carrying you All day.

One Day Feels Like Home
