NO MACHINE KNEW YOUR NAME [Verse 1] They say the world is learning Every secret that we hide, It knows the roads we wander, It knows the dreams we buy. It knows what makes us lonely, What keeps us up at night— But it never saw you coming When you walked into my life. I didn't choose your laughter From a thousand faces shown, I didn't read a reason That would lead my heart to yours. You simply stood before me, And something deep inside Forgot the world around us And whispered, “Here... is life.” [Chorus] No machine knew your name When my heart first called it. No numbers made me stay When I could have walked away. I loved you without knowing Where this love would lead— And that's the kind of love I still believe we need. So don't tell me why I love you, Don't tell me who to choose. I'd rather lose my way with you Than walk a road they drew. If all the world becomes a screen, Come take my hand tonight— We'll love without permission, We'll love without a why. [Verse 2] I want to know the woman No photograph can hold, The little things you never say, The stories never told. The way your hand grows warmer When it's resting inside mine, The silence after midnight When your breathing touches mine. Let others ask the future Who belongs with whom, Let them measure every heartbeat, Let them calculate the moon. I only want the moment When you look into my eyes And neither one can answer Why the whole world disappears. [Chorus] No machine knew your name When my heart first called it. No numbers made me stay When I could have walked away. I loved you without knowing Where this love would lead— And that's the kind of love I still believe we need. So don't tell me why I love you, Don't tell me who to choose. I'd rather lose my way with you Than walk a road they drew. If all the world becomes a screen, Come take my hand tonight— We'll love without permission, We'll love without a why. [Bridge — very intimate] And maybe one day They'll know everything— Why we cry, Why we leave, Why we dream. Maybe they'll know What tomorrow will bring... But darling, when you lay your head upon my chest and hear my heart beneath your ear, there is nothing left to calculate. You're here. I'm here. Isn't that enough? [Final Chorus] No machine knew your name When my heart first called it. No map could find the place Where I fell into your arms. And if they learn tomorrow Every secret of the stars, They'll never own this moment— This moment is still ours. Let the whole world chase the answers, Let it tell us what is true. There are millions they could give me... I would still have chosen you. Not because they told me. Not because they knew. Just because my heart became more alive when it found you. [Outro — almost whispered] Turn off the screen... Come sit beside me. Let the future wait outside. Tonight, I don't want to understand love. I only want to love you.
