Intro – quiet, almost calm) you don’t hear me but I hear everything Verse 1 I know the way you walk when you’re tired the way your voice drops when you’re wired the rhythm of your steps on the street even when you think no one’s near you change your route, you slow your pace but patterns don’t just disappear they settle into smaller things the kind you never really notice Pre-Chorus (low, steady) you call it coincidence I call it routine Chorus (controlled, eerie) I’m always there, just out of sight not in the dark, not in the light you check the doors, you check them twice but you can’t lock down your life I’m always there, you never see how close the distance gets to be not in your room, not in your air but everywhere you think is clear Verse 2 you look behind you sometimes now not fully sure of what you saw a shape that doesn’t stay in place a feeling you can’t trace at all your phone lights up, you hesitate like something’s waiting in the pause not a sound, not even a sign just something sitting in the cause Pre-Chorus (quieter) you almost noticed but you let it go Chorus I’m always there, just out of sight just far enough to feel alright you change your path, you change your speed but not the things you never read I’m always there, just not around not in a way that can be found you search for proof, but there’s no trace just something wrong you can’t replace Bridge (flat, unsettling) not in your house not in your bed just in the space inside your head not in the dark not in the day just in the moments you look away Outro (soft, lingering) you were never being followed just watched by something you can’t see directly and now you feel it all the time
