[Verse 1] I don't remember falling asleep. Only waking where the grass was wet. My shoes were clean. The rain had stopped. Like someone had already waited for me. She was gathering little flowers. She looked at me before I spoke. Then smiled... Like we'd met years ago. [Verse 2] She asked if I was cold. I said, "I think I missed my train." She laughed so softly The trees leaned closer. "That happens sometimes," she said. "Walk with me." [Chorus] She called this place... Viridian..... Where every path remembers footsteps. Where nothing blooms before its season. Where no one is ever truly alone. I asked... "Can I stay until someone comes?" She smiled... "They already have." [Verse 3] The birds don't fly away from us. The river never looks the same twice. Sometimes I hear my mother crying... Far beyond the hills. I tell her, "I should probably go." She brushes moss from an old stone. "You will... Just not today." [Bridge] I keep finding little things. A bracelet. A photograph. My favorite sweater folded on a chair. Inside a house I swear I've never seen. Every morning, she asks, "Do you remember yet?" I always answer... "Remember what?" She never tells me. [Final Chorus] The leaves have started calling me by name. The flowers open when I walk by. The river knows every story Before I speak. I don't ask about home anymore. I don't hear the crying as often. She smiles. She takes my hand. And somewhere... Beyond the trees... A little girl laughs. She says... "Look." "The forest is turning... Viridian....."
