Drew Bowen - Carolina [Studio Album] Lyrics

I left for here about a year ago
To find myself

Find a place where I could breathe
Call it home for now

But New York's colder than I thought it'd be
And I'm having doubts

I thought by now I'd feel the love I missed
And I'd have things figured out


But Carolina feels so far away
And everyone I love has left me
But somethin' still remains
'Cause the mountains knew my name
They still whisper soft and true
"Take your time comin' home
We'll wait for you"


I know it's been a while since you've heard my voice
Or heard from me at all
But I still have your letters and your poetry
And even though I never call
You ignite this fire inside of me
That makes me long for home
Rolling hills and your simple smile
That makes me feel known


But Carolina feels so far away
And everyone I love has left me
But somethin' still remains
'Cause the mountains knew my name
They still whisper soft and true
"Take your time comin' home
We'll wait for you"


I saw you here just the other day
But you didn't look the same
And maybe it was all in my head
But I swear your eyes had changed
Did I dream I still meant more to you?
'Cause I don't know who you are
I wish we could get back home
But I think we've gone too far


'Cause Carolina feels so far away
And everyone I love has left me
But somethin' still remains
'Cause the mountains knew my name
They still whisper soft and true
"Take your time comin' home
We'll wait for you"
