Lyrics

I left the station
before the morning light
a suitcase full of questions
and a map without a line

the city fading slowly
in the rear-view of my mind
every mile was whispering
“there’s something left behind”

A road across the silence
a train across the rain
faces in the window
like shadows in a frame

I thought I was escaping
the echoes of the past
but every town I passed through
was asking where I'd been

Maybe every road we take
is a mirror in disguise
showing who we used to be
in unfamiliar skies

and every step away from home
is another truth we find
the longest road we ever walk
is the one inside our mind

Sometimes the road is longer than you planned.
You leave a place thinking you're escaping something.

A city. A memory.
A version of yourself.

But somewhere, between a train window and a quiet station,
you realise the distance was never outside.

Every mile is just another step, on the long way home.

Maybe every road we take
is a mirror in disguise
showing who we used to be
in unfamiliar skies

and every step away from home
is another truth we find
the longest road we ever walk
is the one inside our mind

And somewhere in the distance
between the dark and dawn
you realise the road you feared
was where you belonged

Maybe every road we take
is a mirror in disguise
showing who we used to be
in unfamiliar skies

and every step away from home
is another truth we find
the longest road we ever walk
is the long way home inside
