[Intro] You knocked like nothing happened. [pause] Like twenty years was a weekend. [pause] Like I wouldn't notice. --- [Verse 1] Funny how your face survived When everything else disappeared [pause] The cafés changed The streets changed The mirrors changed [pause] Even my hands don't look like mine When I hold them to the light [pause] But somehow I knew you instantly --- [Pre-Chorus] You said my name [pause] And all the dust woke up --- [Chorus] Why are you here now? [pause] When the waiting already ended [pause] Why are you here now? [pause] When the movie's past the credits [pause] I buried us so carefully [pause] Then you showed up breathing [pause] Twenty years late [pause] And suddenly I'm seventeen --- [Verse 2] Everybody told me let go So I did [pause] Piece by piece Year by year [pause] I traded dreams for routine And heartbreak for sleep [pause] The moon got tired of watching me Sit awake by the window [pause] Even the ocean forgot your name Before I could --- [Chorus] Why are you here now? [pause] When the waiting already ended [pause] Why are you here now? [pause] When the story's been rewritten [pause] I spent half my life recovering [pause] The other half pretending [pause] Twenty years late [pause] And you walk in like a memory --- [Bridge] Does nostalgia count as love? [pause] Or is it just grief Wearing perfume? [pause] I can't tell anymore [pause] Everything beautiful Eventually becomes a ghost --- [Outro] There's a version of me That never stopped waiting [pause] But she doesn't live here anymore [pause] You missed her [pause] By twenty years
