Distant Land

[Verse 1]

You packed your fears in a carry-on

Folded your dreams by your favorite shirt

Said

“If I stay there one day longer

I’ll forget what I’m worth”

Kitchen light flickered at midnight

Passport shaking in your hand

You traced the map on the table

Saying

“This is where I stand”

[Chorus]

You said you wanted to leave with me for a distant land

Start a new life

Steady your shaking hands

Back home you were sinking in the promises that never came

So we chased that sunrise

Tried to outrun your shame

You said you wanted to leave with me for a distant land

[Verse 2]

You talked about bosses and brick walls

Every “next year” turning to dust

How every “maybe” felt like chains

How you’d stopped trusting your gut

In the airport glass you saw yourself

Not the ghost they made you be

You whispered

“If I fall apart there

Will you still believe in me?”

[Chorus]

You said you wanted to leave with me for a distant land

Start a new life

Steady your shaking hands

Back home you were sinking in the promises that never came

So we chased that sunrise

Tried to outrun your shame

You said you wanted to leave with me for a distant land

[Bridge]

I can’t fix the years that hurt you

I can’t rewrite what they stole

But I can hold your heavy suitcase

While you learn to hold your soul (oh)

If this new sky feels too open

If your voice comes out in cracks

I’ll keep saying

“You’re still worth it”

Till you start saying it back

[Chorus]

You said you wanted to leave with me for a distant land

Start a new life

Steady your shaking hands

Back home you were sinking

Now you’re learning how to breathe again

We’ll keep chasing sunrises till you call yourself a friend

You said you wanted to leave with me for a distant land
