Lyrics
Rooftop nights, the city an endless tide
Uncharted horizon, a never-ending ride
Chaos down below, no end in sight
Traded my life just to feel alive
Goddamn… was it time to move on
You made me stronger, and colder, and gone
You can build an empire and still feel small
When everyone's climbing the same damn wall
Where I belong, where I belong
Been gone too long, I'm barely holding on
Every mile sings what I've become
The city's in me, but I'm moving on
Time to escape before I'm too far gone
I'm going home, where I belong
Oooo
Back where I belong
Back where I belong
Sunlight crawled through the billboard signs
A thousand doors opened — none of them mine
I chased that shine till it burned my skin
Dreams turned to duty; the noise closed in
The crowds kept moving; I stood still
A shadow working against its will
I'm done with the rush and the masquerade
I'm choosing the quiet I've craved
Where I belong, where I belong
Been gone too long, I'm barely holding on
Every mile sings what I've become
The city's in me, but I'm moving on
Time to escape before I'm too far gone
I'm going home, where I belong
Oooo
Back where I belong
Back where I belong
I'll keep your fire, your sleepless tone
The steel and rhythm carved in bone
But peace is a quiet that the city can't fake
It's in the stillness that hearts awake
Where I belong, where I belong
Been gone too long, I'm barely holding on
Every mile sings what I've become
The city's in me, but I'm moving on
Time to escape before I'm too far gone
I'm going home, where I belong
Oooo
Back where I belong
Ooooh yeah
Back where I belong
