You say the stars are only embers Scattered through a vacant sky That we draw lines between their fire Just to teach the night a lie You say fate is just a story Lonely hearts are taught to tell But some currents run beneath us Deep as any cosmic well Call it chance if that feels safer Call it chaos if you must But something ancient in the silence Just aligned the two of us Somewhere long before this moment Long before we breathed or knew There were quiet hands of gravity Slowly drawing me to you Not a myth our hearts invented Not a dream the lonely start There are names the stars remember There are maps inside the heart And I know it like the tide knows Where the endless oceans move Some loves are written in the dark Long before we choose Stop the clock, turn away from the door I've been here before I'll be here once more You're a dangerous force I can't put down You could pull me apart Without making a sound I watch the moon cross the length of the sky And I'm counting the minutes and I don't know why Does midnight feel the same where you are tonight? Are you turning the covers and losing the fight? You're the hunger I can't name You're the thirst I can't explain You're the monsoon in the desert, the salt in the sea And you're holding the downpour away from me I've been burning for you every day Drown me in it Or walk away You can call it blind coincidence Two lost signals in the air But why did every road I wandered End the moment you were there? Why did silence start to listen Why did distance start to bend Like the world had been rehearsing For the second we would begin No thunder spoke it from the heavens No prophecy was carved in stone But recognition moved between us Like a truth we’d always known Somewhere long before this moment Long before the world was new There were unseen constellations Quietly arranging you Not a wish that we imagined Not a fragile hope to prove Some hearts are meant to find each other Like the night is meant for moon And I know it with a certainty No doubt could ever move Some loves are written in the dark Long before we choose
