[Intro – spoken / half-sung] Hey starlight… slow it down. ⸻ [Verse 1] I knew how to choose, I didn’t know how to stay, every road was calling me another way. Every green light said “go, go, go,” but nobody told me what to hold. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] (rhythmic, repeatable) I was moving fast, moving blind, reading every sign, every sign. Funny how the truth gets quiet when you’re running out of time. ⸻ [Chorus] (this is the hook) I was chasing all the signs, all the signs in my way, but love was the only one that stayed. Yeah, love was the only one that stayed. (repeat last line once — people will sing it) ⸻ [Verse 2] I had reasons stacked up high, had a map for every why. But the more I tried to win the race, the more I lost the pace. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – repeat] I was moving fast, moving blind, reading every sign, every sign. Funny how the truth gets quiet when you’re running out of time. ⸻ [Chorus – repeat, bigger] I was chasing all the signs, all the signs in my way, but love was the only one that stayed. Yeah, love was the only one that stayed. ⸻ [Bridge – drop, light bounce] Slow me down, don’t pull away, if it’s real it doesn’t chase. Every answer fades with time, but love don’t change its face. ⸻ [Final Chorus – stripped then full] I was chasing all the signs… (half beat) but love was the only one that stayed.
