Lyrics
ived been chasing deadlines chasing safe
Stacking my days like a wall of faith
I tell myself its for us its for tomorrow
But I bring you my silence not my heart to borrow
Laptop glow in the bedroom light
And I miss you even when youre by my side
Im present but Im far away
And youve been waiting anyway
αααααααααααΆαα αααα»αααα αααα·αααΆαααΆαααΎαα’αΌα
Lost in the moment not in love in the grind
Trying to protect what I already had in my life
I wanted balance I wanted control
But I kept choosing goals over soul
I was lost in the moment blind to the cost
Building our future while our now got lost
Now Im coming back Im coming back to you
To the quiet love that always stayed true
Lost in the moment I forgot what matters most
Your hand in my hand not the life I could boast
Im coming back Im coming back to you
αααααααααααΆαα αααααα‘αΆααα’αΌα
Coming back to you
Right here with you
Im juggling projects chasing proof
Trying to be strong trying to be bulletproof
But stable means nothing if you feel alone
If our bed feels cold while Im on my phone
I dont need more plans on my screen
I need your eyes I need your peace
So let me drop the extra weight
And love you better not just late
α’αΌαααααΆαα ααααΉααα αααααα’αΌα αα·ααα»αα’αΌαα―ααΆααααα
I thought being reliable meant never stopping
But love needs time not constant coping
So tonight I choose the simple truth
Work can wait Im coming home to you
I was lost in the moment blind to the cost
Building our future while our now got lost
Now Im coming back Im coming back to you
To the quiet love that always stayed true
Lost in the moment I forgot what matters most
Your hand in my hand not the life I could boast
Im coming back Im coming back to you
αααααααααααΆαα αααααα‘αΆααα’αΌα
Let me love you in the small things
In the morning hush in the wedding ring
In the way I listen before I speak
In the way I stay when the week gets heavy
No more after this no more one more task
No more hiding behind the future mask
If Im building anything worth keeping
Its us its you its this breathing
αααααααααααα·α α αΎαααααΉααα αααααα’αΌα
I was lost in the moment blind to the cost
But I found my way back Im done being lost
Now Im coming back Im coming back to you
To the only love that makes me true
Lost in the moment not anymore
Youre my home my open door
Im coming back Im coming back to you
α’αΌαααααΆαα αααααα‘αΆααα’αΌα
