00:25Came back to where I was born
00:31That cracked up street, that rusted sign
00:37Put my back against that wall again
00:41Just to see if it's still aligned
00:50The neon sky was humming low
00:53The same hum that shook me back then
01:01Swore I'd never look behind me
01:05Now I'm here looking back again
01:14I found the road I now ran
01:19The noise, the fight, the concrete heat
01:26Learned to survive before I could drive
01:29With broken shoes and blistered feet
01:39Thought the world would make me softer
01:45But the city made me stay sharp
01:50I didn't leave to chase some dream
01:54I left so it wouldn't eat my heart
02:00This ain't redemption
02:03This ain't regret
02:07Ain't no anger, ain't no debt
02:12Just a quiet return to the city
02:18To see what's left
02:21I'm here looking back
02:29I'm here looking back
02:29This ain't regret
02:31I'm here looking back
02:41I'm here looking back
02:45I'm here looking back
02:50Still nothing grows between the cracks Some new glass where the old bars stood
03:01The streets still don't forgive too easy But they remember what they could
03:14A few new names, a few old ghosts Still walk like they ain't gone
03:25I came back to measure the distance Between what changed and what held on
03:38I don't want back what I let go I'm not here to make things right
03:50Just needed to see it once more Before I turn back into night
04:00This ain't redemption This ain't regret
04:06Ain't no anger Ain't no debt
04:12Just a quiet return to the city To see what's left
04:25Return to the city Return to the city
04:41Return to the city
04:44Return to the city
05:00To see what's left
05:00The city
05:00Arlantic
05:00The city
05:01You
