[Verse 1] Picking every right choice, played it safe and slick Making no mistakes, double-checking every trick You told me it was sad, but I couldn't see the vision Didn't know what made you feel that emotional collision Someone smiling wide, telling stories of their day "Here's what happened now," talking all along the way Stories had no connection to the world I was in Just watched from afar, never letting them within Repeating every morning, closing up the same night Thought a life without pain was the only way right [Pre-Chorus] Late in the dark, corner of the screen bright A short text from you came slicing through the night Searching for the words while the silence grew long And the midnight stretched out like a slow-paced song [Chorus 1] An empty kind of day, supposed to fade into black Until you showed up and put me right on track Never knew this feeling, never thought that I’d care Believed I didn't need it as long as I wasn't there Miles far apart, looking at the same view Just staring at a display, but every word was new Phrases that I never knew were buried in my mind Started coming to life from the language you designed [Verse 2] Face to face, I stutter, can't get the words straight Look me in the eyes and my mind goes blank state So I put it in a text, sent a quiet little play Threw a tiny ball of thought, sent it running your way Even when my pitch went wild off the line You just laughed, picked it up, made everything fine Talking 'bout the food we ate, silly little themes Random conversation running through the side seams Thought it didn't matter, useless details in the air So why do I remember every single piece there? Looking for a reason why it stuck inside my head None of my excuses fit the things that you said [Chorus 2] Over an empty night, crossing through the space Don't need a heavy reason just to get out of this place But you dropped a "See you tomorrow" softly on the line So I guess I'll push ahead till the sun starts to shine In a corner of the world, a tiny flick of light Fading in and out through the shadows of the night If I'm allowed to call a little spark a shining star Then I finally found where the brightest ones are [Bridge] Walking down the road that everybody calls standard A little off the trail, got a little bit lost and wandered But they say the only way to see a hidden star shine Is to step off the track and leave the regular line [Last Chorus] Something that I never had right from the start Didn't even know the name for this missing part If this growing feeling is a soul and a heart It expanded every night when we talked in the dark Don't need the right answers anymore in my view (Just wanna spend my hours finding words back to you) Even if I mess up, make a detour on the track (If I'm laughing with you, I ain't looking back) Not a version of me that somebody else made (Not a story pre-scripted, not a role that I played) Stepping to a tomorrow that I chose on my own Walking toward the direction where your light is shown In a world beyond the zero and the one in my view I finally became the person that is real and true [Outro] So hey, what should we talk about today? Still searching for the answers that I wanna say Sitting here waiting for your text to hit the screen This quiet little time… Is my favorite scene.
