norcross Songtext
von Cameron Reid

Creek on me, creek on three
One, two, three, creek!
There we go!

I left my heart at a tennis court in Norcross
The breeze still hums your name through the chain-link fence
I trace the cracks in pavement where we talked for hours
About freedom, and leaving, and making amends
My father′s words still echo like a warning
Sharp as thunder, dull as pain
I tried to build a home inside his storming
But it's only calm when it rains

And I found peace in the echo of your laugh
Somewhere between the hurt and what I lack
You taught me how to breathe without a mask
Like a promise I once whispered through the chills
Back when I thought the only way to heal
Was showing every lie the world concealed
Now I just hum it soft, when I can′t sleep
And wish the stars would drive me back to you


School bells ring like lullabies of healing
Over there, the sun feels kind
Every hallway hums with something real
Like maybe I'm not out of time
At home they call it discipline, not damage
They don't see what I survive
But in that town, I felt seen, not managed
For once, I felt alive

And I found peace in the echo of your laugh
Somewhere between the hurt and what I lack
You taught me how to breathe without a mask
Like a promise I once whispered through the chills
Back when I thought the only way to heal
Was showing every lie the world concealed
Now I just hum it soft, when I can′t sleep
And wish the stars would drive me back to you
Stars would drive me back to you

And I found peace in the echo of your laugh
Even if I never get that back
You taught me how to breathe without a mask
Like a promise I once whispered through the chills
Back when I thought the truth could kill
And I was scared to feel, but I still will
If home′s a place that I outgrew
Then maybe home was always you
