Lyrics

[Intro]

I kept your name folded inside my coat

Like a map to a place I was scared to go

Every turn in the town led back to you

But you never knew I was passing through

[Verse 1]

I saw you by the corner store, rain on your sleeve

Blue hour, bus doors closing, you were late to leave

I took the long way home, kept pace two blocks behind

Not chasing your footsteps, just losing mine

You had a paper cup, cinnamon on the lid

A laugh with your friend that you never hid

I learned the shape of your Tuesday route

While every brave word stayed locked in my mouth

I wrote you notes, then tore them apart

Kept every small detail like evidence of a heart

Your window went dark, my street went still

I was close enough to speak, never close enough to will

[Pre-Chorus]

Sirens in the distance, red across the glass

I ran from the moment, but the moment ran fast

You turned at the crossing, I froze in the rain

One second from telling you, one lifetime too late

[Chorus]

I was running through the whole town just to find you

Every road, every signal, every night led beside you

You were living your life, never looking my way

I was the quiet pursuit that you missed every day

Now the headlights are fading, and the morning comes through

I can finally say it: I was there for you

When you turn and remember the face at the end

You never knew I was there till then

[Verse 2]

I knew the late train, knew the bakery line

Knew you bought yellow tulips when the weather turned fine

But I never crossed the distance, never stepped in your frame

I made a whole confession without saying your name

My friends called it foolish, said, “Let her go”

But some hearts move silent, too stubborn, too slow

I kept one photograph from the county fair

You were looking at the fireworks; I was looking at you there

Then one cold afternoon, your suitcase by the door

You were leaving this town, maybe leaving for good

I had one clean chance, no excuse left to hide

So I followed the last train with the truth at my side

[Pre-Chorus]

No sirens in the distance, just the wheels on the track

No more borrowed seconds, no more turning back

You looked through the window as the platform blurred

And I said your name softly, the first time you heard

[Chorus]

I was running through the whole town just to find you

Every road, every signal, every night led beside you

You were living your life, never looking my way

I was the quiet pursuit that you missed every day

Now the headlights are fading, and the morning comes through

I can finally say it: I was there for you

When you turn and remember the face at the end

You never knew I was there till then

[Bridge]

I’m not asking for the years to rewind

Not asking you to call this love by the same name as mine

Just let me stand here, honest and seen

For once in the open, no space in between

If you walk away, I’ll let the distance win

But at least you’ll know where I had been

Every street, every season, every almost goodbye

Was me trying to reach you without knowing why

[Final Chorus]

I was running through the whole town just to find you

Every road, every signal, every night led beside you

You were living your life, never looking my way

I was the quiet pursuit that you missed every day

Now the headlights are fading, and the morning comes through

I can finally say it: I was there for you

You turn and remember the face at the end

And suddenly the stranger is the one you let in

[Outro]

No more running, no more hiding from the truth

You never knew I was there

Till I stood right in front of you
