lyrics

Back when I belonged somewhere, I didn't have a care. Back when I belonged somewhere. And back before I got it wrong, I knew every song. Back before I got it wrong.

But I took it hard, fell through the stars. No reason why, just empty sky.

Wishing that the road would bend, to where this heartache finds an end, and back where I belong.

Back when you were still around, my heart flew fast as sound. Back when you were still around. And back when I belonged somewhere, Oh, I laid my heart bare. Back when I belonged somewhere.

But I took it hard, fell through the stars, No reason why, just empty sky.

Wishing that the road would turn, to something that was left to burn, and back where I belong.

And I can feel it settle in my bones, the weight of knowing that my soul has flown, away from home.

I took it hard, fell through the stars. No reason why, just empty sky. I took it hard, fell through the stars, No reason why, just empty sky.

Wishing that the road would stop, and I'd never have to feel that drop, and I could stay where I belong.

Heat from the Day
by Ben Kreader

It's a family thing...my brother is also a singer-songwriter, but has an eclectic sound all his own (more art-pop, but also lyric-driven). You won't regret checking it out! Ellie Zwart
