Lyrics:
I've been living on the road
Made a buck off my soul
I've been singing stories to the crowd
Been a while since I've been home
Think about you every night
Wonder what it would've been like
If I stuck around and settled down
Maybe in another life
So if I fly too far
Will I still have a place inside your heart
When you see what I've become
Will you love me for who I am, not who I was
You keep me steady on the ground
When my head's lost in the clouds
That spot light though it shines bright
Could never drown you out
I know it's hard when I'm away
I just hope you don't lose faith
Cuz I told the truth when I said to you
That I'll be back someday so
If I fly too far
Will I still have a place inside your heart
When you see what I've become
Will you love me for who I am, not who I was
Will you love me for who I am, not who I was

Please never stop making music. You have no idea the impact your songs are making, such a talented individual. Incredible work Chance!

[@theherits]

My own lyrics youtube channel because of his angelic voice💚

[@joycebunn6045]

I’m with you on this please keep up making music

[@maxmiller1940]

Can’t even explain how this feels man, grew up in Vermont and moved to Colorado over the course of 2 years. Been running from addiction like the plague, this hits home and I appreciate you. Thank you for this brother,

[@annsheely]

Wherever you go, there you are

[@TheProPainter]

Max, you got this! I was also strapped with addiction for years…. I lost my family, home, dog and my baby brother from overdose… that still wasn’t enough to get clean… 6 months later went to jail and finally kicked the habit and I’m now approaching 3 months of sobriety and I will never look back. I was taking upwards of 30 pain pills a day. Spending thousands a week. The whole time I was scared of withdrawal. 6 days on my death bed and another week of lethargy was all it took bro. Now I feel better than I ever have. It can be done bro!!! You need to find a good support system to help.

[@finalsignal1290]

i just got home from a mental hospital and I thought i lost everything being there again and this song just popped up on spotify and i loved it instantly. thank you. feels good knowing im the better version of me now.

[@ariannashrum9068]

Praying for you ❤

[@crackafilliacs1]

Hey...... Ummm..... Me too, litteraly. All of it. I know it sucks, but we can clean the shit off our boots together. Reach out if ya ever need help or to chat... I unfortunately understand all too well

[@TheProPainter]

Stay strong! No one is spotless! We are full of blemishes but can conquer any mountain in front of us!!!

[@jacobgunter445]

Hey I know how you feel same thing happened to me recently.Stay strong and if you need to talk I’m here

[@sunshine-bn7el]

[@Theventurerbro]

This hits hard when you don’t feel at home anywhere and been on the road for a hot minute

[@joycebunn6045]

Agree with you I don’t fit in. But you know God speaks don’t conform to the world. Thank you Father Jesus Christ don’t want to fit in to this world I’m passing through on my way home God bless you sir. Keep your eyes on Jesus Christ believe fit into his world his life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@IsekaiMeAlready]

I'm going home in 2 days, after 2 years of living abroad. I'm excited about being home again but also nervous cause I am aware of how much I've changed in the past 2 years and I feel unsure of how my family & friends will react to who I am now. Thanks for creating a music that really represents what I'm going through ❤

[@AngieAJ]

What's it like now?

[@ryer7042]

We want update man

[@IsekaiMeAlready]

Oh wow, didn't know that people will be so invested in my story! Coming home was nice, but also weird. I feel like I'm experiencing my country and home for the first time again, which is both fascinating and well....weird. It's weird because things that used to be mundane now somehow feel very foreign(?). Being in my family home also means going back to an environment with a lot of stuff that easily trigger my childhood trauma so it's also been a bit tough. Not everyone is blessed with a harmonious family with healthy relationship dynamics, but sometimes that's all you can only come home to. Regarding the family, they seem a bit taken aback with who I am now & how much I've changed. But as most conservative Asian family, they just kind of bottle up their feelings & pretend everything's fine. I realized that some of my values don't really align anymore with what they believe in, but I believe that we can still compromise and be a part in each other's life. Although, I am also prepping myself to be okay if I have to separate myself or cut ties with them if push comes the shove. I must say, I do miss being on my own & exploring the world so I can't wait for my next adventure in life. Thank you for reading my story, I hope you are doing well wherever you are. Always believe that you have the power to create the life that you want & become your own person so never give up :)

[@thepositivecrowd6137]

You're an incredibly strong person to say all of that with such grace. Thank you for sharing your story :) From a stranger who also cares

[@IsekaiMeAlready]

@@thepositivecrowd6137 thank you so much 🩶

[@WhereisEra]

Listening this on repeat as I will be flying far away in less than a month to follow my dream of traveling that I had since a kid.. listening to this song already makes me miss everyone I love 😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[@WhereisEra]

I need the chords for guitar !!🥹🥹

[@ShaeTaytheGay]

Best of luck to you on your journey, friend. Chasing dreams is as hard as it’s ever been, but ironically, also more common than it’s ever been. This world is trash. Do what makes you feel like it isn’t. Godspeed. ❤️

[@JohnsonChenWang]

Best of luck on your great meandering adventure. May the wind be on your back

[@CorrineNicole]

@@WhereisEraI don’t know if this is right but on a different video of the song someone said Am F C Am F C

[@MartiMcfly-mf9pq]

This comment is the exact reason why I love this song. I’m legit going through the same journey.

[@Architect-gd8qv]

Deff underrated artists that yet have to gain the spotlight love all your songs

[@CharlesXavierXThewolverine]

Everyone will call it masterpiece oneday❤

[@anastasiahudson2919]

I want to read a book with the same atmosphere as how this song feels

[@Liz-S89]

This song hit hard, what a great concept so many people struggle with. Thank you for writing your own songs- that’s extremely rare now. I’m in awe that genuine artists and poets like you don’t get recognition like they should. Keep it up please. Your parents and family should be proud.

[@jacintagrant2536]

I lost a lot of important people recently (they're not dead but they're gone) and I've made some drastic changes to who I was and who people knew me to be and this song makes me want to cry so bad because I'll never be THAT person again and I feel like I'm begging those left to love me.

[@fionablank4042]

don’t ever EVER beg for someone to love you. the right people will automatically love you under any conditions. you’re capable of receiving so much love.

[@bluecoop]

Gonna be on repeat all night, ima go out side walk around and blast this till morning ima learn every lyric and sing my fucking heart out man this hit my soul, its really really amazing.

[@pearljeric132]

Second time already they should make a loop of this song❤🤓🤡

[@christie2219]

It's literally perfect 😍👌🏻

[@georgeandonov4113]

What a masterpiece! This songs is made with so much love and passion. I just came back home after 4 months of traveling the world, and this song is giving me flashbacks... Beautiful song. Thank you❤

[@jettbridgerab3388]

Will you love me for who I am, not who I was. This, this line has so much meaning to it… and for so many people in so many different situations. It’s brilliant. ❤️

[@joycebunn6045]

Yes yes love me for who I am ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@azariawalker1498]

chance, your songs are like a reward. your lyrics are so soul touching, and then plus that melody style that i only hear from you drives me into an emotional frenzy of euphoria. your style is so refreshing and i seriously can not get enough of it.

[@bjg3474]

So glad I stumbled upon this song, I feel like I need a longer version of this song

[@iljakoval4412]

This song is so extremely UNDERRATED!! Please don't stop making these songs!🙏

[@ItsOnlyRyan]

I normally DJ underground electronic music, away from the clubs I need to chill… this song is probably one of the best songs ever written. It’s such a powerful song that really resonates with me about my life… your vocals are hauntingly beautiful. There’s a really deep soul to you! Honestly, you should be incredibly proud of yourself for being true to your calling. You were born with an incredible talent!

[@HAppytobeHer]

This perfectly captures the pain and beauty of moving abroad ❤️ miss my family so much now that I’m a mother myself

[@hejtojaemilia]

At the end of the day, it's all about who you think about while listening to this song

I moved 3000 miles away to escape the death of my parents. So i wouldnt feel their ghosts everywhere i looked. I think it made it worse

[@jamesamberrichesson6528]

It reminds me of my Mom passing away😢 I had went to visit, and we had an amazing night, it was a five girls' birthday in March show me how to make birthday party so of course we had a good time and I had to get back home with my 4 girls, the next day, My Mom asked me to stay one more night but my 3 daughter's had tambourines so I asked my mom to go home with us so she can watch them perform also she wouldn't leave with us, ask me to say again pleading pretty much, I should have just stayed, 7 hours later I get a phone call that she had a heart attack, I lived the really rough childhood me and my mom grew up together she was 15 when she had me unfortunately I became the other parent when she had my three other siblings I wanted to stay with her again that night but I know my daughters were the only ones that play tambourines in their bands so I couldn't let their previous engagements just be pushed to the side I really wish I would have stayed again she lived 1.30 minutes awa I was there 55 minutes and my siblings said shehad a heart attack 45 year old working women of 4 and grandchildren boom gone 😢 song brings me peace she would loved it ! But I do wonder she asked me to move closer to her, and I didnt or just stayed longer but im blessed I got to see the adult side of her mature then she was gone its been the biggest challenge in my life , but I have to tell myself everyday some dont get to say good bye some don't get to see the better side 😢 but if she was here we would be listen and singing it together 😢 sorry

What a great song. I miss my partner. I ultimately sum it up to karma. I wasn’t a good person in my early days, and it caught up. I thought I was set. But karma came back. Maybe I deserved the loss. No ill feelings. I just know I was ready to settle down. She wasn’t, and that’s a okay. That’s life for you folks. I’ve learned, I’ve grown. It’s the next chapter. I’m a better person, and it’s now a different page.

Your song came at an impeccable time. Just broke off with who i thought to be 'the one' and I fled to Australia. The folk/roadtrip vibe of the song and the powerful lyrics really matches my current life here in the land down under. Just like the second verse, I still hope for a future where both of us ends up together in the end and That I'll be back someday. Thank you for the music :')
