Sailor’s Home (Alternate Version)

Lyrics [Verse 1] You said you weren’t the staying kind Always running with the tide But you stood still in my light For the first time in your life You laugh a little softer now Like you finally figured out You don’t have to drift away You can stay—you can stay [Pre-Chorus] You move like the sea But you come back to me [Chorus] You love me like a sailor loves the shore Like you don’t feel lost anymore Like you found something worth the fight Not just shelter for the night And I hold you like you’re finally mine Not a moment passing by And you don’t leave, you never do You come back like you always do [Verse 2] You say my name like it’s your own Like you’re not alone anymore Like the silence doesn’t win Like you finally let me in And I don’t have to second guess Every word, every breath You don’t fade into the blue You stay true—you stay true [Pre-Chorus] You pull me in close And I already know [Chorus] You love me like a sailor loves the shore Like you don’t feel lost anymore Like you found something worth the fight Not just shelter for the night And I hold you like you’re finally mine Not a moment passing by And you don’t leave, you never do You come back like you always do [Bridge] If I asked you to stay, you would smile Say “I’ve been yours for a while” No more running, no goodbye Just your hand holding mine And you tell me where you’ve been All the places in your head All the storms you used to chase All the nights you couldn’t sleep When you say you choose me You were never meant to roam You were just looking for a home [Final Chorus] You love me like a sailor loves the shore Like you don’t drift anymore Like the waves don’t pull you away Like you finally chose to stay And I hold you like it’s all real now Like we finally figured out You don’t leave, you never do You come back like you always do [Outro] You said you weren’t the staying kind… Guess you just hadn’t found me yet
