Serendipity

Описание: Serendipity — Track 13 from How To Carry It

Sometimes the road you didn’t plan becomes the one that leads you home.
Serendipity is a windows-down, late-afternoon love song about finding something real in a place that was already familiar. After rebuilding and returning home, love didn’t arrive with fireworks — it walked through the front door.

This song is about reroutes that weren’t mistakes, about detours that become design, and about redefining “home” as a person rather than a place.
Groove-forward and emotionally expansive, Serendipity blends rhythmic guitar, atmospheric lift, and a steady driving pulse to capture that feeling of open roads and unexpected arrival.

It took a lot of living to get here.

And somehow, of all places, it was right through the door.

From the album How To Carry It — a project about movement, meaning, and learning how to hold life well.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Spent a season fixing up the doorway
Sanded down the edges, cleared the floor
Thought it was just repainting old rooms
Never knew what it was readying for
Then you walked in with boxes in your hands
Sunlight spilling in behind
Of all the streets in all this town
You found your way to mine

Pre-Chorus
Like rerouting on a long drive
Past exits outgrown
Every turn that wasn’t chosen
Still led you home

Chorus
Took a lot of living just to meet you
Of all the places — through that door
You moved into a life before it knew you
And now it’s something more
Home isn’t walls or where the map ends
It’s wherever your heartbeat moves
Always happy for serendipity
If it keeps leading to you

Verse 2
Windows open, music drifting
Light bending across the floor
Every quiet feels electric
Like it’s never been here before
The house breathes different in the evening
Even silence feels brand new
Every space that looked completed
Was just waiting there for you

Pre-Chorus
Like headlights on a backroad
When the night feels wide and new
All the miles that felt uncertain
Were just guiding toward you

Chorus
Took a lot of living just to meet you
Of all the places — through that door
You moved into a life before it knew you
And now it’s something more
Home isn’t walls or where the map ends
It’s wherever your heartbeat moves
Always happy for serendipity
If it keeps leading to you

Verse 3
Now the road looks different together
Every detour feels designed
Maps that never would’ve been chosen
Turn into a life aligned
Talking about a house still growing
Little footsteps down the hall
If love keeps building like this
There’s no fear at all

Bridge
Stopped trying to force the timing
Struggling against what couldn’t be seen
Turns out life was rearranging
The shape of everything
No grand sign to follow
No lightning breaking through
Just a door built steady
And you walking through

Final Chorus
Took a lot of living just to meet you
Of all the places — through that door
You moved into a life before it knew you
And now it’s something more
Now every road feels wide open
Every mile feels true
Always happy for serendipity
If it keeps leading to you
