(Verse 1 – Him) Across the quiet evening river, I walk beside her, heart unsure. She laughs, and suddenly I’m hopeful, She turns away — I’m not so sure. Her voice can sound like something deeper, Then change like shifting Irish rain. I try to read between her moments, But every sign dissolves again. (Verse 1 – Her) You walk with questions in your silence, I hear them though you never speak. I answer softly when you ask me, Yet somehow never quite complete. I choose my words with careful distance, I hold my smile a second long… But if you’re searching for a meaning, I fear you might read it wrong. (Pre-Chorus – Together) Two steps apart, two hearts uncertain, Both afraid of crossing lines. He holds back what he longs to tell her, She hides truths she can’t define. (Chorus – Him & Her alternating) (Him) I love her more than I can say it, But if I speak, will she pull back? Would all the warmth between us vanish, Once I confess the things I lack? (Her) You look at me like I’m an answer, But I’m a question in disguise. I never know what I am giving When you search meaning in my eyes. (Together) So we drift in gentle silence, Hoping something clearer shows. But every time we start to open, Another doubt begins to grow. (Verse 2 – Him) She stands like dawn above the water, A glow I never want to lose. Yet all the signs she sends are tangled, And I can’t tell what path to choose. One day she’s close, the next she’s distant, I chase the truth I cannot find. If only feelings left a footprint, Maybe I’d know what’s in her mind. (Verse 2 – Her) You wait for me to make it simple, But simple isn’t what I am. I speak in half-formed hints and pauses That even I don’t understand. And though I try to keep things steady, My heart stays quiet, undefined. I never meant to make you wonder, But I can’t give what I can’t find. (Bridge – Together) If only words were easy, If only hearts were clear— We’d know just what we’re holding, Instead of what we fear. (Chorus – Final) (Him) I love her more than I can carry, But still I’m scared to let it show. (Her) I never try to guide or fool him, I only give what small truths grow. (Together) So we end where we have started, In the space between “yes” and “no”— Two souls speaking without answers, And still unsure of where we’ll go.
