[Intro] If no one was with me I think I'd just get lost Not metaphorically Not philosophically I mean literally lost Trying to remember Which way I came from [Verse 1] I'm directionally challenged Every road looks similar Every landmark gets deleted By my unreliable memory I can remember conversations From years ago But ask me where I've been And I genuinely don't know My brain stores information In ways that don't preserve geography I know the destination But can't reconstruct the journey Left becomes right Familiar becomes foreign And suddenly I'm standing somewhere Wondering how I got there I don't navigate I approximate I follow whatever feels familiar Until familiarity disappears [Chorus] If no one was with me I don't know where I'd go I'd keep walking through the streets Hoping something starts to look known If no one was with me The world would lose its frame I'd recognize the place I'm trying to reach But never recognize the way So when somebody walks beside me They become my orientation Turning geography into certainty Turning confusion into direction If no one was with me I think I'd just get lost [Verse 2] Then there's the sunlight Which makes everything harder The sky can be beautiful But brightness hurts my eyes So I spend the daytime squinting Trying to see through the light And darkness isn't much better Because I can't always see What's waiting in front of me When the distance loses definition Daylight overwhelms my vision Nighttime conceals the details And somewhere between the two I'm trying to determine Where exactly I am It's strange how something as simple As walking down a street Can become complicated When your eyes refuse cooperation [Pre-Chorus] I don't need somebody Because I can't function alone I need somebody Because sometimes another person Can see what I can't Remember what I forgot Recognize what I don't And tell me where to turn When every direction looks identical [Chorus] If no one was with me I don't know where I'd go I'd keep walking through the streets Hoping something starts to look known If no one was with me The world would lose its frame I'd recognize the place I'm trying to reach But never recognize the way So when somebody walks beside me They become my orientation Turning geography into certainty Turning confusion into direction If no one was with me I think I'd just get lost [Verse 3] Maybe that's what scares me most Not being alone Being alone And realizing the world Doesn't come with a map No internal compass No reliable coordinates No photographic memory Of where I've already been Just streets Signs Sunlight Shadows And the possibility That I've already passed The place I'm looking for I can overanalyze everything Except where I am I can dissect a feeling Into microscopic pieces But somehow can't remember Which direction leads me home [Bridge] If no one was with me Would I know when I was lost? Would I keep walking Because stopping feels worse? Would I call for help Or convince myself That eventually Something would look familiar? I don't know That's the problem I don't always know Where I've been Where I'm going Or how far I've gone Sometimes I just know Someone is beside me And that's enough [Final Chorus] If no one was with me I think I'd disappear Not from existence But from any sense Of where I am The sun would hurt my eyes The dark would hide the road My memory would erase the landmarks I was supposed to know If no one was with me I'd probably just keep moving Hoping that somewhere I'd recognize something Hoping that somehow I'd find my way home [Outro] So if you walk beside me Don't let me fall behind Because I might not know That I've gotten lost Until you're gone
