Two Feet from Home

Coming Home: The Story Behind "Two Feet from Home"

(Original concept — about being almost healed, almost okay)
Verse 1
Therapist says I’m close this time,Two feet from crossing that healing line.Every panic now fades in half,Every breakdown ends with a laugh.But damn, two feet feels far as hellWhen your mind’s still stuck in a mortar shell.Healing’s a hallway I’m walking slow—Two feet in front of the me you know.
Verse 2
My girl says, “Baby, just breathe and stay.A journey’s a journey, take your day.”I nod but sometimes slip and fall,Hit my knees against the wall.But two feet’s closer than where I’ve been,Two feet from letting light seep in.Two feet from laying the past to rest,Two feet from feeling blessed.
Pre-Chorus
Every inch is a victoryIn a war no one can see.
Chorus
I’m two feet from home,From standing strong, from being whole.Two feet from the man I’ll be,Two feet from letting myself free.I ain’t there yet, but I ain’t alone—I’m two feet…From home.
Bridge
One breath, one step—I’ll get there yet.
