“Home is a Person”-by E-Lye Creed

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
When the noise gets loud and the world feels cold,
you make me feel already whole
’cause home is a person,
and I’m home when I’m close to you.

[Verse 1]
I’ve lived in rooms that echoed my name,
filled with light but never felt the same.
I’ve chased addresses, crossed city lines,
looking for peace I could recognize.
But comfort never came from the walls,
or the quiet after the long days fall
it found me slowly in your presence,
in the way you stay when I’m defenseless.

[Chorus]
Home isn’t a place I return to,
it’s the way my guard falls when I’m with you.
It’s not four walls or a familiar street
it’s comfort with a heartbeat next to me.
When the world feels heavy and uncertain,
I don’t need directions, I just need you
’cause home is a person,
and that person is you.

[Verse 2]
I don’t need silence to feel calm,
just your breath keeping time with mine.
I don’t need answers wrapped in control,
just knowing I don’t stand alone.
You don’t fix me, you don’t save
you let me breathe the way I am.
And somehow in your steady eyes,
I found the rest of my life.

[Chorus]
Home isn’t a place I return to,
it’s the way my guard falls when I’m with you.
It’s not four walls or a familiar street
it’s comfort with a heartbeat next to me.
When the world feels heavy and uncertain,
I don’t need directions, I just need you
’cause home is a person,
and that person is you.


Maybe love was never meant to feel dramatic,
maybe safety is the real romantic.
In your arms, I don’t disappear
I finally arrive right here.


Wherever you are
that’s home.
