lirik lagu scarlett bittencourt - welcome back to nashville
[verse 1]
i left with a suitcase full of songs and a ticket marked “maybe” bright
chased neon lullabies that promised warmth but left me cold at night
they said “she’s getting thin, she’s burning out” like gossip with a grin
they never felt the way the stage would pull my ribs and scream me in
[pre~chorus]
i learned to fold my laughter into verses, hide my hunger in the lines
spent years giving pieces to strangers who stole hours and kept the dimes
there were echoes of my mother’s kitchen and the porch light i once knew
but every room i entered taught me how to lose and how to move
[chorus]
brother, wait by the old town sign — will you swear i’m not a ghost?
say i’m welcome back to nashville, say the thing i need the most
father, i’ve built a little home with a crooked porch and view
tell me i’m welcome back to nashville — i’ll knock until you say it’s true
[verse 2]
i traded lullabies for limelight and lovers for two~dollar wine
i learned the language of the highway where the map of me unspooled by line
there’s a scar that smiles behind my collar and a songbook full of debts
i kept the pages that remembered me, the rest i burned to cinders, kept
[pre~chorus 2]
you said you worried ’bout my face, my frame, the shape that time had drawn
but you didn’t hear the quiet growth that lived in every single dawn
i found a rhythm in the leaving, planted roots in borrowed towns
and now the only thing i’m asking is to walk back on my own grounds
[chorus]
brother, wait by the old town sign — will you swear i’m not a ghost?
say i’m welcome back to nashville, say the thing i need the most
father, i’ve built a little home with a crooked porch and view
tell me i’m welcome back to nashville — i’ll knock until you say it’s true
[bridge]
spoken over a single guitar
i lost myself between the chorus and the last refrain
gave my weight to other people, kept the pennies of my pain
but on that porch i learned to breathe again, let morning keep the cold
welcome isn’t given once — it’s lived, and earned, and told
[build]
i bring ticket stubs and late~night prayers, my pockets full of songs
i bring apologies like paper boats, i bring the years i’ve longed
if welcome is a doorway, let the hinges know my name
i’ve come to stand in sunlight, not to be the one they blame
[final chorus]
brother, wait by the old town sign — say i’m flesh, not folklore told
say i’m welcome back to nashville — warm the porch, don’t leave it cold
father, i’ve carved my heartbeat into rafters, painted hope in blue
say i’m welcome back to nashville — say it once and mean it true
[outro]
welcome back to nashville — the sign swings slow and soft and true
welcome back to nashville — i’ll stay a while and watch the dew
the porch light keeps its promise and the town remembers names
welcome back to nashville — i brought the music; keep the flames
