[Verse] The corner store’s got a neon glow But the faces don’t feel like they used to know Sidewalk cracks like old wounds in the light Whispers of childhood tucked out of sight [Pre-Chorus] I walk these streets, the silence sings A song of change and lost beginnings [Chorus] Hometown roads, where did you go? I’m chasing shadows I used to know All the cracks and all the signs Paint a story that’s not mine Hometown roads, soft and kind Built with memories left behind [Verse] The old park swings sway in gentle breeze Underneath the sky that’s bending trees Every step feels like a borrowed time Familiar notes, but a different rhyme [Pre-Chorus] I trace the lines where I once stood Fading echoes of neighborhood [Chorus] Hometown roads, where did you go? I’m chasing shadows I used to know All the cracks and all the signs Paint a story that’s not mine Hometown roads, soft and kind Built with memories left behind [Bridge] Maybe change is kindness in disguise The past still glows behind new skies Hold my heart as I unfold In these streets of soft and gold [Chorus] Hometown roads, where did you go? I’m chasing shadows I used to know All the cracks and all the signs Paint a story that’s not mine Hometown roads, soft and kind Built with memories left behind [Outro] Hometown roads, stay close tonight A fragile hand in fading light
