Verse 1 Crowded room, nothing planned Just a moment out of hand Your eyes caught mine too long to miss Enough to make it register We never spoke, not really there Just passed inside the borrowed air You turned away, I stayed behind Already organising the time ⸻ Pre-Chorus I told myself it was nothing That was inaccurate ⸻ Chorus By the time you noticed, everything important was already decided. By the time you noticed, there was nothing left to interrupt. ⸻ Verse 2 Saw you once, then once again Different place, same timing then I made it look the way it should Unremarkable, understood You remembered me just enough That felt encouraging I remembered everything That felt necessary ⸻ Pre-Chorus I never rushed a moment I let it arrive ⸻ Chorus By the time you noticed, everything important was already decided. By the time you noticed, there was nothing left to interrupt. ⸻ Bridge You changed small things Routes, reasons, times You thought distance Was still an option There was a version Where this ended early You walked past it Without recognising it ⸻ Chorus By the time you noticed. By the time you noticed. That was never the beginning. ⸻ Outro There was a moment Where this stopped being interest And became Resolution By the time you knew, there was nothing left to learn.
