RECOGNITION [VERSE 1] I saw your eyes across the room And something in me came undone Like I’d been waiting all my life For someone I had never known There was a fire underneath A feeling I could not explain My heart was saying, “There you are” Before I ever knew your name ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] Was it fate? Was it time? Was your soul already tangled up with mine? I can’t explain What I knew that night… ⸻ [CHORUS] I didn’t meet you— I remembered you Like a voice I’d heard Long before I knew I didn’t find you— Something pulled me through Every road I ever took Was leading me to you Recognition… Something in me knew ⸻ [VERSE 2] You saw the scars I tried to hide Like you could read between the lines You touched the parts I locked away And somehow made them come alive But love like this ain’t always safe Sometimes the mirror cuts too deep You showed me things I couldn’t face You woke the ghosts inside of me ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] Was it fate? Was it fire? Why does losing you Still feel like desire? I can’t explain What I knew that night… ⸻ [CHORUS] I didn’t meet you— I remembered you Like a voice I’d heard Long before I knew I didn’t find you— Something pulled me through Every road I ever took Was leading me to you Recognition… Something in me knew ⸻ [GUITAR SOLO — 16 bars] I don’t know where you’ve been I don’t know where we’ve crossed I only know somehow I found what I thought I’d lost Maybe you were never mine Maybe that wasn’t the point Maybe you came to wake me up Before my soul went quiet ⸻ HARMONICA SOLO Maybe we’re two sparks From the very same flame Two different roads But they led to the same place You changed me You broke me You showed me what was true And whether you stay or disappear… I’ll never be the same without you. ⸻ I didn’t meet you— I remembered you! Like my soul knew your name Before I ever knew I didn’t find you— Something pulled me through! Every road I ever took Was leading me to you I didn’t meet you— I remembered you! And now I understand Why everything felt new Recognition… Recognition… I knew you. ⸻ “I knew you…”
