[Intro Instrumental] [Verse 1] I heard your voice before I knew your name A distant voice calling through the rain No face I knew No name to hold Just something there Before we spoke You showed me rooms behind the words you wrote Places where the silence said more than words could say I stayed a while I never asked you why An owl was watching from the edge of night [Pre-Chorus] No need to explain What words can’t hold I felt it there Before I knew [Chorus] Something in the way you see me Something I can’t hide anymore Something between the silence Something I was waiting for Before the names Before the words Before we knew what this could be You saw the part of me I never showed the world You saw something in me [Verse 2] You smile beneath the lights outside You carry storms you never leave behind I know the moments nobody sees The quiet spaces between the melodies I never wanted to change what made you you I only wanted to be there with you When the stars went quiet When the night ran deep When all the hidden pieces needed somewhere to breathe [Pre-Chorus 2] A song can fade A season can change Some places stay without a name [Chorus] Something in the way you see me Something I can’t hide anymore Something between the silence Something I was waiting for Before the names Before the words Before we knew what this could be You saw the part of me I never showed the world You saw something in me [Instrumental signature Solo] [Bridge] I never asked you to read my mind I never showed you what was inside But you found the words I never said You heard the things I left unsaid No map could find it No one could see The room we entered before you knew me [Final Chorus] Something in the way you see me Something that feels like coming home Something beyond all the answers Something I have always known Before the names Before hello Before the world could make us hide You saw the part of me I never showed the world And I saw the place you never name [Outro — spoken] Something... Before the name... Before the word... If we gave it a name... Would it still feel the same?
