Description
There are people who are like heated blankets in human form. With them, you can breathe easier, even if it's winter outside and the heaters are silent. But here's the problem: the warmer it gets around you, the scarier it is to lose that feeling of “home.” It's like your favorite coffee mug - the crack is barely noticeable, but your hand still reaches for it every morning.
A song about that line where tenderness meets anxiety. When you want to let someone in closer, but past scars remind you: don't rush. In every chord - the fear of opening the door and still taking a step forward. Because sometimes home is not a place, but a person whose eyes can turn off the storm.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I wanna fall into your collar
It makes the world a little smaller
I like to feel it for a moment, yeah
But can we leave the door cracked open?
Can I open up myself?
Got a scar from someone else
Can I open up myself?
'Cause it's when you touch me and never judge me
It takes me right back home
And though I'm scared of chasing you, scared of erasing you
What do I want from you?
Home
I have this reoccurring dream
You build a life with someone else
I swear, I want you to be happy
Hell, I want that for myself
It's been hard to let you go
Such a long and painful road
But what I keep with me the most
Oh, it's how you love me and how you trust me
You always feel like home
Though I'm scared of chasing you, scared of erasing you
It's time to let you go
Home
You've got that touch, you've got a way of making everything okay
You've got that face that I relate to feeling comfort, feeling safe
When I don't have a place to go, my love, it's you that takes me home
My love, it's you that takes me home
My love, it's you that takes me home
It's why I'm scared of chasing you, scared of erasing you
But it's time to let you go
