Ada hubungan yang tidak pernah benar-benar selesai. Bukan karena kuat, tapi karena tidak pernah benar-benar dilepaskan. Datang, pergi, lalu kembali lagi — dengan perasaan yang sama, dengan cerita yang seolah terus berulang tanpa arah yang jelas.

 

Di antara semua itu, selalu ada satu pihak yang tetap bertahan. Menjadi tempat pulang, tempat bercerita, tempat merasa nyaman… tapi tidak pernah benar-benar dipilih. Bukan awal, bukan akhir, hanya persinggahan di saat semuanya terasa kosong.

 

Lagu ini membawa suasana yang dekat dengan pengalaman banyak orang — hubungan tanpa kepastian, rasa yang tidak seimbang, dan harapan yang terus hidup meski perlahan melelahkan. Emosi yang tenang, namun dalam, cocok untuk menemani malam yang sepi atau saat pikiran tidak bisa berhenti mengingat.

 

Dengan nuansa musik yang lembut dan melankolis, Everytime You Came Back, I’m Your Home menghadirkan cerita tentang menjadi “rumah” bagi seseorang… tanpa pernah menjadi tujuannya.

 

Lyric:

[Verse 1]

Every year, around the same time

You show up like clockwork, crossing that line

We drink cheap wine, you kick off your shoes

Talk about college, your wins and your blues

 

[Pre-Chorus]

I laugh at your stories, cry when you do

You ask me, “Do you still draw?” I say, “A few”

We talk about girls you almost loved

You ask about guys — I lie enough

 

[Chorus]

And then it’s like we never changed

You pull me close, I feel the flame

The way you kiss, the way you move

Like you’ve got something left to prove

Sometimes you’re quiet, sometimes rough

You say you’re tired of giving up

But when you ask me things that sting

I let you take what you need

 

[Verse 2]

My mom says, “He’s handsome — is it love?”

Your sister hugs me like I’m enough

We play along, the perfect pair

But no one asks what’s really there

 

[Pre-Chorus]

You hold me like a home you lost

But treat me like I’m made of cloth

You say, “This world just wears me down”

And I just nod — I won’t make a sound

 

[Chorus]

You touch me like I’m your escape

Then whisper things you shouldn’t say

“Can you do this?” “Can you kneel down?”

And I just smile, don’t make a sound

It’s not about the pain or shame

It’s how you need, and how I stay

Every time you come back here

I give you all, and disappear

 

[Bridge]

I know I’m not the only name

I’ve heard the girls, I’ve felt the shame

But when you’re here, and I’m your fix

I take the love in all its tricks

 

[Final Chorus]

Year by year, it stays the same

You leave me bare, but not in vain

We talk, we laugh, we break, we bend

And I still love you like back then

So when you need someone to feel

To break, to hold, to touch, to heal

Every time you come back here…

You’ll find me still

You’ll find me still
