The sky feels bigger than it should tonight
Streetlights hum like they know my name
I count the cracks in the concrete
Like they’re proof that I’m still here
Windows glow with borrowed lives
Every laugh feels miles away
I’m orbiting empty rooms
Trying not to fade
I scream into the quiet
But it comes back as rain
If love is a signal
I’m lost in the static again
The world is so wide
And I’m so small inside it
Every road leads somewhere
Just never to you
I don’t need forever
I don’t need the stars aligned
I just want your hand
In this endless night
Maps don’t show where the heart goes numb
Or how silence learns your shape
I wear my hope like a worn-out jacket
Too thin to keep me safe
Crowds move like passing planets
Everyone’s gravity strong
I’m drifting through conversations
Like I don’t belong
If love is a language
I never was taught
I keep mouthing your name
Like it’s all that I’ve got
The world is so wide
And I’m so small inside it
Every road leads somewhere
Just never to you
I don’t need perfection
I don’t need a sign
I just want your warmth
In this cold, open sky
Maybe I’m asking too much
Maybe I’m late to the truth
But even a flicker of light
Could pull me back to you
I don’t want to conquer the dark
I don’t want to be brave
I just don’t want to feel
This alone in a crowded place
The world is so wide
But I still believe
There’s a place where your heartbeat
Is waiting for me
I don’t need saving
I don’t need a plan
Just tell me I’m seen
Just tell me I can
If love is out there
Between stars and wires
I’ll stay awake
Till it finds me tired
Till it finds me…
Here.
