Take Me Home

My jaw locked tight, palms wet Cut through the crowd like a thumbtack Wrong turn, right now, I’m in that Cold sweat, race in my wristcap Gas station glow on the wet black One cracked sign, then I lose track Heart on a chain, let it swing fast Every street lookin’ like a dead end trap I keep my head low, eyes sharp Count every porch, every parked car Maps on my phone got a scar Still I’m a step from the same dark Hands on the wheel like prayer One more block, I swear I’m there If I move like fear, I stay scared So I move like fire through the air Adrenaline, adrenaline Run through my veins again If I miss that turn, I spin If I see that light, I win Take me home, take me home (take me home) Adrenaline won’t let me slow Take me home, take me home (take me home) I can feel it in my bones Take me home, take me home (take me home) I’m alive, but I need that door Take me home, take me home (take me home) I’m so close, I want more Now I’m past that row of fences Past the bend with the chipped-out benches Every red light feels relentless Every face in the glass looks distant I know this block from the winter rain That corner store, that bent street name I been lost in my own maze Now the same old route got my name Breath in, breath out, don’t fold One wrong move and the night gets cold I got flashbacks of being told Just keep going till the road unfolds So I cross that line, don’t freeze Hear my blood hit the bass in threes I’m chasing home like a memory With a battery in my knees Adrenaline, adrenaline Run through my veins again If I miss that turn, I spin If I see that light, I win Take me home, take me home (take me home) Adrenaline won’t let me slow Take me home, take me home (take me home) I can feel it in my bones Take me home, take me home (take me home) I’m alive, but I need that door Take me home, take me home (take me home) I’m so close, I want more One last block, then I breathe House key heavy in my sleeve If the world shakes, let it I been burned, still I don’t quit Turn the corner, there you are Same front step, same scarred-up jar My whole chest lets go at once I was lost, now I know where I’m from Take me home, take me home (take me home) Adrenaline won’t let me slow Take me home, take me home (take me home) I can feel it in my bones Take me home, take me home (take me home) I’m alive, and I need that door Take me home, take me home (take me home) I’m right here, I want more
