A heart that knows your name

There's a man beneath the streetlight,

Standing silent in the rain.

Every time I close my eyes,

I see his shadow once again.

There's a bridge I keep on drawing,

Though I swear I've never been.

And a voice that sounds like comfort,

From a life I've never seen.

Why do I feel like I know you?

Why does my heart ache when you leave?

How can I miss somebody

I don't remember meeting?

Tell me who you are,

Tell me who we've been.

Why do you feel like home

When you're standing in the wind?

How can I remember love,

When the memories are gone?

Why does something deep inside me

Say you're where I belong?

And if my mind forgets again,

If the world rewrites our fate,

Will my heart still know your name?

Will you be there when I wake?

(When I wake…)

There's a blue rose in a garden,

And a letter never read.

There's a thousand little moments,

And the things we never said.

Sometimes I see a wedding ring,

Sometimes I hear you laugh.

Sometimes I feel you holding me,

Like we're somewhere in the past.

You look at me so gently,

Like there's something you can't say.

And I wonder if you loved me,

In a life they took away.

Why do your eyes feel familiar?

Why does your silence feel like truth?

Why do I keep searching

For a memory of you?

Tell me who you are,

Tell me who we've been.

Why do you feel like home

When you're standing in the wind?

How can I remember love,

When the memories are gone?

Why does something deep inside me

Say you're where I belong?

And if my mind forgets again,

If the world rewrites our fate,

Will my heart still know your name?

Will you be there when I wake?

What if every dream I've had

Was a doorway to our past?

What if every broken memory

Was a love that couldn't last?

What if I once held your hand,

And promised not to leave?

What if all these missing pieces

Are still waiting inside me?

But I don't need a thousand lives,

Or a story telling me what's true.

If I could make one choice tonight…

I think I'd choose you.

Now I know who you are,

Even if I don't know where we've been.

You're the warmth behind the darkness,

You're the light that finds its way in.

And if my memories disappear,

If tomorrow starts again,

I'll follow what my heart remembers,

Till I find you in the rain.

There you are…

I knew I'd find you.

Not because the story told me to…

But because I wanted to.

(Until we meet again…)
