Verse 1 You were always around, in the background of the room Laughing at the same jokes, staying later than the crew I kept chasing the loud ones, the ones who filled the air While you sat with your coffee and that quiet little stare I’d leave with the wrong people, text the ones who never stayed Drive home with the radio turned up to drown the day You’d wave when I walked by, say “see you tomorrow” like it was nothing And I treated it like nothing while the whole night kept running Pre-Chorus All that noise, all that static, all the voices in my head I was listening for something else instead Chorus Who knew your note rang the loudest in this mess of noise Who knew the one I needed was the one I never chose I was spinning in the chaos, chasing every other sound While you were right beside me and I never turned around Who knew your note rang the loudest Who knew your note rang the loudest in this mess of noise Verse 2 I remember how you’d listen when the rest of them would talk How you’d notice when I went quiet and you’d walk me to the car I kept looking for the spark in every stranger’s face Never seeing that the steady one was standing in her place You’d send the little messages, the ones that made me laugh And I’d answer half-distracted, already moving on to the next Now the loud ones are all gone and the room is finally still And the only thing I hear is the note I never filled Pre-Chorus All that noise, all that static, all the voices in my head I was listening for something else instead Chorus Who knew your note rang the loudest in this mess of noise Who knew the one I needed was the one I never chose I was spinning in the chaos, chasing every other sound While you were right beside me and I never turned around Who knew your note rang the loudest Who knew your note rang the loudest in this mess of noise Bridge I can still hear it clearer than the rest of them combined That soft, steady something I was too busy to find You’re still in my life, still laughing, still around And I’m finally hearing what I couldn’t hear before the sound Final Chorus (bigger, stacked, driving) Who knew your note rang the loudest in this mess of noise Who knew the one I needed was the one I never chose I was spinning in the chaos, chasing every other sound While you were right beside me and I never turned around Who knew your note rang the loudest Who knew your note rang the loudest in this mess of noise Outro In this mess of noise… Your note… Your note rang the loudest…
