Every step I take, every word I speak（バージョン2）

Verse 1

Sun on my collarbone, dust in the air

Grandfather's old truck rattling down that hill again there

Mama's waiting for me by the doorframe, eyes red from the smoke she won't breathe

I grab what I need and tell her I'll be home before sundown, but I know that's a lie

Pre-Chorus

Tell me something about where we came from

Something to keep on driving with when the road gets too long

Did your father ever leave this town? Was he ever gone?

Is it in my blood or just something that keeps me running like a song?

Chorus

Every step I take, every word I speak

Is a map of all the things I couldn't keep

Home is not one place you come back to

It's the fire inside me that I'm chasing through

Verse 2

Old photograph in my glovebox showing your hand in mine

We took it at the county fair before I even had a mind

Now you're standing on this same porch where we used to play outside the walls

I write in the margin, 'Still moving' though I know that's not true at all

Pre-Chorus

Tell me something about where we came from

Something to keep on driving with when the road gets too long

Did your father ever leave this town? Was he ever gone?

Is it in my blood or just something that keeps me running like a song?

Chorus

Every step I take, every word I speak

Is a map of all the things I couldn't keep

Home is not one place you come back to

It's the fire inside me that I'm chasing through

Bridge

Maybe home was never just a house

But every place I ever walked through

Was a piece of what we made together

Every mile I put behind, it brings us closer somehow

Chorus

Every step I take, every word I speak

Is a map of all the things I couldn't keep

Home is not one place you come back to

It's the fire inside me that I'm chasing through
