Already Home

Description
"Already Home" is an anthemic midtempo pop song about finding belonging and comfort in love, regardless of location. It captures the euphoric feeling of returning to someone special after a long journey, where the presence of that person transforms any place into a sanctuary. The song builds from intimate verses to soaring choruses, culminating in a key change that amplifies the emotional release. It's a celebration of love's ability to transcend distance and create a sense of home wherever it's found.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Rubber wheels on tile, jet lag in my bones, Announcements in a language I half-know. Customs stamp, I text “just landed, don’t move,” Heart on a luggage belt—round and round it goes. Automatic doors take a breath, then sigh, Cold air hits warm light on the other side. I count my steps like a drumline grows— Then I see your face, and everything slows. [Pre-Chorus] Crowd noise fades to a single tone, All my maps fold up like a paper phone. I was crossing time zones just to know— Wherever you are, that’s the pin I drop. [Chorus] The doors slide open and I’m already home, You say my name and the airport lets go. Drop my bag like gravity broke, Right into your arms where the skyline glows. Didn’t need a welcome sign, I know— Every runway points to your hello. Two steps in and the truth is known— The doors slide open and I’m already home. [Post-Chorus] Already home—already home. (Right where you are.) [Verse 2] Carousel three spins a thousand goodbyes, Someone holds roses; someone wipes eyes. You laugh—tiny wave like we planned this scene, Holding a cardboard sign with my nickname in green. Taxi horns tangle with a coffee smell, You pull me closer like you know me well. We’re a soft-focus film in a neon dome, Gate B12 to hand-in-hand home. [Pre-Chorus] I was heavy metal on a carry-on frame, Now I’m feather-light when you say my name. All the miles turn into one, Like night collapsing into sun. [Chorus] The doors slide open and I’m already home, You say my name and the airport lets go. Drop my bag like gravity broke, Right into your arms where the skyline glows. Didn’t need a welcome sign, I know— Every runway points to your hello. Two steps in and the truth is known— The doors slide open and I’m already home. [Bridge] Every layover, every empty gate, Every plastic seat where I learned to wait— Falls away like a paper snow, When your hands say stay, and the doors say go. If the world’s a terminal, we choose our flight, I’ll choose this moment every time. No passport stamp ever hit this hard— As you in frame through the sliding glass. [Final Chorus] The doors slide open and I’m already home, You say my name and the city says “oh.” Drop my bag like gravity broke, Right into your arms where the daylight glows. Didn’t need a welcome sign, I know— Every runway points to your hello. Two steps in and the truth is known— The doors slide open and I’m already home. [Tag] Already home (already home)… Right where you are (right where you are). Take me anywhere—if you’re there, it’s home.
