[Verse 1] I remember your eyes in the back of the car, two little ghosts wondering who we are. You said my name like you knew it before, like we’d been here, like we’d met at the door. A hundred small accidents, a thousand ways to call it chance. You were there when I turned around, and somehow I was always where you could be found. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it was fate, maybe it was nothing. Maybe we were just two hearts afraid of becoming something. [Chorus] We made a circle out of every goodbye, drew our names where the cold meets the sky. If love is a place, I still know where it is, somewhere between your memory and mine. And I don’t know if we were meant to be, or if I made a destiny out of what I needed to see. But when the midnight sun refuses to die, I still find you on the other side of the light. [Verse 2] There are things I remember that never occurred, a sentence you said, or maybe just heard. Your shadow is living inside of my head, sometimes I miss you, sometimes I miss who I was instead. The smell of the summer, the sound of the train, a photograph fading but keeping your face. And maybe that’s love when the years disappear: not having you here, but still finding you everywhere. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it was fate, maybe we were lonely. Maybe every coincidence only felt holy because you were there with me. [Chorus] We made a circle out of every goodbye, drew our names where the cold meets the sky. If love is a place, I still know where it is, somewhere between your memory and mine. And I don’t know if we were meant to be, or if I made a destiny out of what I needed to see. But when the midnight sun refuses to die, I still find you on the other side of the light. [Bridge] What if the road was never leading home? What if we were always meant to walk alone? What if the miracle wasn’t staying together, but finding each other in the first place? I would choose the accident. I would choose the pain. I would choose your hand if I could live it all again. Because some people leave but never really go. They become the places only your heart knows. [Final Chorus] We made a circle out of every goodbye, and somehow our story survived the night. If love is a place, I still know where it is, where your memory touches mine. Maybe we weren’t written in the stars, maybe we just gave meaning to the scars. But under that endless Scandinavian sky, I loved you once, and somehow that never learned to die. [Outro] So if you ever see the sun when the whole world should be dark, remember there was once a boy who carried your name in his heart. And if we meet again at the end of the road, maybe we’ll laugh at the circle we made… …and call it destiny because we never found another word.
