[Verse 1] She walked in beneath the neon Just past midnight's weary glow Bought a coffee she didn't want And watched the rain outside the window Every face looked like a stranger Every mile felt traveled twice Something deep beneath her laughter Whispered softly through the night [Pre-Chorus] She said, "Tell me why this all feels familiar Like a dream I've known before Like a song I can't remember But I still know every word" [Chorus] Same river, different name Same heart, different flame Round and round the wheel keeps turning Till you recall why you came You can't hide You can't hide From the truth beneath your skin The light was never gone, my darling You just forgot to let it in [Verse 2] Time moves funny when you're searching Years can vanish in a glance Different streets and different faces Still we trace the same old dance Looking outward for the answer Through the noise and through the crowd While the voice you've been avoiding Keeps on calling clear and loud [Chorus] Same river, different name Same heart, different flame Round and round the wheel keeps turning Till you recall why you came You can't hide You can't hide From the truth beneath your skin The light was never gone, my darling You just forgot to let it in [Bridge] Then one winter evening found her Watching snow drift past the train All the lives she'd left behind her Gathered gently in the rain Every sorrow Every promise Every ember still aglow Led her back to where she'd started To the only home she'd know [Instrumental Break] Muted trumpet solo Piano fills Soft walking bass [Final Chorus] Same river, different name Same heart, different flame Round and round the wheel keeps turning Till you recall why you came You can't hide You can't hide From the truth beneath your skin The light was never gone, my darling You just forgot to let it in [Outro] She remembered Standing still beneath the stars Not the story Not the costume Not the miles or faded scars Just the light Just the light Shining through the dark again And she turned her face toward morning And finally let it in
