All my life, I've tried to do something
to make a difference
so I wouldn't lead life to a late
but disappointing grave
Home is fucking nowhere
Most days I'll be far away
But I'll always find my way back
I'll always try to survive
Even when my back is breaking
And my feet are worn down to the bone
I'll find my way back
I'll find my way back home
It's fucking nowhere
Home is fucking nowhere
You know this is what I need to do
You know I won't rest
Or I'll be filled with regret
These distances will be tough
and I won't speak for days on end
But know (just fucking know)
That I promise
I won't take this life for granted
and know (just fucking know)
Day in, day out
You are my lantern In the middle of the darkest nights
I won't die alone
I won't die with a question
I promise that I'll find myself
and who I really am
Before I'm claimed by the earth
I promise that I'll find myself
and who I really am
All my life, I've held onto the things
I never thought would ever end
but now I find myself doing the same for something
that never even began
You were my strength when I was weak
You were a secret I just couldn't keep
You are the reason why I sing
You are the note I can't quite reach
Know, just know, you are my lantern in the middle of the darkest nights
I can't speak for anyone but myself
I only know what's best for me
and that's leaving this whole town in my rear-view mirror
and letting go of everything
