[Intro] [Quiet acoustic guitar picking] [Am chord drone] (Mmm, hello again) [Verse 1] [Minimal instrumentation] hello again, my stranger wearing same old skin your smile returns, but it flickers like a dying hymn I reach for you like a pilgrim to a ruined shrine trying to rebuild what time has weathered into lines [Pre‑Chorus] [Tense buildup] [F major to G major] and I can’t name the ache that’s waking I can’t trace the shape it’s taking every vow feels close to breaking every truth is ripe for shaking (mmm) [Chorus] [Heavy foot-stomps] [Soulful belt] ’cause what we were still echoes through these rooms we lie as one but the distance blooms and in my chest a restless drum beats for the love I'm running from so hello, stranger meet me where we begun [Verse 2] [Quiet, gritty vocals] how many times can a river carve the same stone they say just once but I’ve stood here more than I’ve known I stepped back in to waters we once called home but the current changed and it chills me to the bone (to the bone) [Pre‑Chorus] [Percussive rhythmic thumps] and I can’t tell what’s worth the saving I can’t breathe without the craving trying not to stir the quiet trying not to spark a riot [Bridge] [Ethereal vocal harmonies] [Shift to D minor] maybe love is a holy ruin something lost and worth pursuing maybe hearts can rise again from ash and dust to flesh and skin maybe we can meet as strangers shed our names and all our angers [Chorus — Final] [Fortissimo] [Full vocal power] ’cause what we were still echoes through these rooms we lie as one but the distance blooms and in my chest a restless drum beats for the love I'm running from so hello, stranger meet me where we begun And I’ll try to love you with whatever heart I still am [Outro] [Empty space] [Fading Am chord] with whatever heart I still am (hello, stranger) (I still am) [End] Lyrics And Arrangements Copyright© 2026 Bigb_oobie All Right Reserved
