Some people spend their 20’s
Chasing after gold
And a steady love to hold
And when you’re in your 30’s
A place with a view to show
But I don’t understand it

Moved out into an apartment
One suitcase and guitar
I tried to chase my dream
But in my lonely evening
I hear your voice say “Wait a while,
This path you chose will lead you home”

So I stopped to say goodbye
To all the noises in the world
Cause they don’t know me like you do
I know it isn’t over
I stopped pretending I’m somebody else to find myself
Let me be who I could be
I’ll show you who I’m meant to be
I’ll be okay, it’s such a long way home
You’ll be okay

I’ve made it in my own right
More than I deserve
I was living out my dream
But in my wandering evening
I hear your voice say “Wait a while,
There’s still a way we’ve left to go”

So I stopped to say goodbye
To all the noises in the world
Cause they don’t know me like you do
I know it isn’t over
I stopped pretending I’m somebody else to find myself
Let me be who I could be
I’ll show you who I’m meant to be
I’ll be okay, it’s such a long way home
You’ll be okay

So I stopped to say goodbye
To all the noises in the world
Cause they don’t know me like you do
I know it isn’t over
I stopped pretending I’m somebody else to find myself
Let me be who I could be

So I stopped to say goodbye
To all the noises in the world
Cause they don’t know me like you do
I know it isn’t over
I stopped pretending I’m somebody else to find myself
Let me be who I could be
I’ll show you who I’m meant to be
I’ll be okay, it’s such a long way home
You’ll be okay
