VERSE 1:
you are where i go to be alone, you’re my escape
(you’re my sanctuary)
laying in my bed, thoughts in my head,
what’s going on

i swear it’s the truth, it’s how I feel when
I am laying in your arms.

REFRAIN
it is where - i belong
it’s my home

CHORUS
I’ve been gone for far too long, tryna find my way back home
even though i’ve been everywhere, i’ve been everywhere alone
if home is where the heart is, then you know where i’m going to.
you are my sanctuary.
my home is right next to you.

VERSE 2
lately, things are changing, in how you look me in the eyes (cuz you’re staring blankly)
trying to define, read between the lines, what does it mean?

Tell me it’s the truth, that you still love me, when i’m lying in your arms.

REFRAIN
cuz you are where i belong.
you’re my home.

CHORUS:
I’ve been gone for far too long, tryna find my way back home
even though i’ve been everywhere, i’ve been everywhere alone.
If breaking’s all we ever do, tell me how to love between the cracks
you are my sanctuary..
..bring it back

BRIDGE:
Home is not supposed to feel like it’s made of steel and concrete
All i ever wanted to feel were you arms around me tightly
This sanctuary’s burning down, i saw the ashes on the ground
but all i ever really found.. were lies.

CHORUS:
I’ve been gone for far too long, tryna find my way back home
even though i’ve been everywhere, i’ve been everywhere alone.
If home is where the heart is, then there’s no chance of going back
you were my sanctuary..

CODA:
Now that, you are gone, I am alone,
there’s not escape
no more sanctuary.
this was a composition I wrote (with madeline olbourne) for elective music class
