Before we knew

we started with no meaning

in a room of passing light

careless laughs and small collisions

you were nowhere in my sight

you always got me nervous

just to watch me lose control

but somewhere in the silence

you were reaching for my soul

I said it didn’t matter

you pretended not to see

but there was something in between us

we were scared to let it be

who would’ve thought this “almost”

would turn into my place

that in the middle of the chaos

you’d be the one I’d chase

through every turn and every moment

we got lost to find our way

’cause before we ever knew it

I was yours anyway

I watched you love somebody

and I smiled through the ache

I stood by every promise

even when my heart would break

and when my world was falling

you were steady, you were home

in between the fights and laughter

you became what I would hold

there was a quiet second

where we almost crossed the line

but the timing wasn’t ours yet

we just let it pass us by

who would’ve thought this “almost”

would turn into my place

that in the middle of the chaos

you’d be the one I’d chase

through every turn and every moment

we got lost to find our way

’cause before we ever knew it

I was yours anyway

now it’s you inside my routine

your voice inside my home

your laugh across the hallway

like I was never alone

it happened all so quickly

but somehow it feels like fate

like every road I walked on

was just leading me your way

stay with me in the simple

in everything we’ll build

if I’m dreaming of a future

you’re the only one I feel

my best friend, my forever

my beginning without a plan

’cause before we ever knew it

you were always where I am
