Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You laugh
And my chest unclenches
All the stupid voices
Fall through the floor
You say my name
Like it ain’t broken
Like I’m not too much
Like I’m something more
I’ve been the strong one
The “I’m fine, leave it” guy
Then you hand me your hoodie
I finally wanna cry
[Chorus]
You feel like home
Like kicking off my shoes on a Sunday
Like I can leave my guard by the door
You feel like home
Like late-night calls that don’t run out
Like I’ve never been this safe before
I don’t know how to say it
So I’m singing it instead
I’m in love with you
And it scares me half to death
[Verse 2]
Every scar I hide
You trace it with your thumb
You don’t call it “damage”
You call it where I’m from
You pack snacks for trips
Text “message me when you land”
No one ever checked
If I made it home again
You memorize my schedule
Just to bring me coffee
I joke that you’re obsessive
But it’s hitting me softly
[Chorus]
You feel like home
Like porch light on when I’m running late
Like “I kept your dinner warm”
You feel like home
Like falling asleep during bad movies
Knowing you’ll keep me from the storm
I don’t know how to say it
So I’m rapping it instead
I’m in love with you
And it’s messing with my head
[Bridge]
What if I lose you
By telling the truth
What if I keep quiet
And I lose you too
So here it is
My hands, my past, my fear (yeah)
If I say “I love you”
Will you still be here? (oh)
[Chorus]
You feel like home
Like keys on the counter, I’m staying
Like “leave your bags, you’re not alone”
You feel like home
Like first real breath in forever
Like skin that finally feels my own
I don’t know how to say it
So I’m bleeding on this track
I’m in love with you
Please just love me back
