You Can Always Come Back

This track comes from Aaron Stransky's core identity — Folly Beach roots, 843 area code, the raw unfiltered version. It tackles The album closer — a message that no matter how far you go, how lost you get, how much you change, home is home and you can always come back. Folly Beach will be there.. The lyrics get specific — "Folly Beach remembers, even when you don't" — because personal tracks on Majik's are personal for real, not performatively. The folk ballad production matches the energy of the confession. It hits reassuring and warm, in that order. Every personal track in the catalogue comes from a real moment, a real feeling, a real person. This one is no exception.

[verse 1] I know you've been running on fumes for half a year I know the hustle and the grind replaced the things held dear I know you've been so far from here you forgot the way But the porch light's on and the beach is wide and I'm here to say [chorus] You can always come back, the door's not locked The tide rolls in regardless if the clock has stopped You can always come back, no judgment, no receipts Just the sound of the ocean and the sand beneath your feet You can always come back to who you were Before the titles and the hustle made the edges blur Folly Beach remembers, even when you don't You can always come back, even when you won't [verse 2] I know you changed your number and your city and your name I know you traded porches for the startup hall of fame But Aaron's still in there underneath the brand And Carolina's reaching out an open hand You don't need to earn it, don't need to prove a thing Just come back to the water, let the saltwater sting Your eyes awake and remind you where you're from [chorus] You can always come back, the door's not locked The tide rolls in regardless if the clock has stopped You can always come back, no judgment, no receipts Just the sound of the ocean and the sand beneath your feet [bridge] The long way home is still a way home Every detour, every wrong turn, every time you've been alone Was just the scenic route to standing where you are The long way home doesn't mean you've gone too far [verse 3] So pack the truck or book the flight or just start driving south Let the windows down and let the words fall from your mouth That you've been holding in since you left the coast You can always come back to the place that loves you most [outro] Come back, come back The long way or the short way Just come back Folly's waiting Home is waiting You can always, always come back
