[Intro (soft → build, crowd-ready]
Mm-mm
Oh-oh
Till you came along
[kick pulse fades in]
[Verse 1 (driving but restrained]
I was running through streets that felt empty
Coffee cold, shoes worn thin
Every plan I had felt out of reach
Every door I tried caved in
I talked big like the world still owed me
Something strong, something wrong
I was good at waiting for someone
Till you came along
Yeah, you came along
[Pre-Chorus (lift, emotional clarity]
You didn’t promise me forever
You just stayed for the song
Yeah, you stayed for the song
[Chorus (anthemic, open, arena-ready]
You came along
Put a fire in the quiet
Turned the dark into dawn
I was barely surviving
Barely holding on
You came along
You showed me how to belong
I didn’t know what I was missing
Till you came along
Till you came along
[Verse 2 (same pocket, sharper imagery]
I was hiding in plain sight
Laughing louder than I felt
Building walls and calling it life
Stacked excuses on my shelf
But you saw through every shadow
Like you knew me all along
You said, “You don’t have to be ready”
Then you came along
[Pre-Chorus 2 (bigger lift]
No big words, no grand designs
Just your hand fitting into mine
[Chorus 2 (bigger, layered vocals]
You came along
Put a fire in the quiet
Turned the dark into dawn
I was barely surviving
Barely holding on
You came along
You showed me how to belong
I didn’t know what I was missing
Till you came along
Till you came along
[Bridge (drop - emotional rise]
Maybe it’s just a moment
Maybe it’s a lifetime song
Either way I’m standing taller
Knowing I don’t stand alone
If the road bends back to lonely
If the night feels too damn long
I’ll remember who I was
Before you came along
[drums build, crowd claps start]
[Final Chorus (full arena lift]
You came along
Put a fire in the quiet
Turned the dark into dawn
I was barely surviving
Barely holding on
You came along
You showed me how to belong
I didn’t know what I was missing
Till you came along
Till you came along
[Outro chant + echo fade]
Yeah, you came along
You came along
I didn’t know
I didn’t know
What I was missing
Till you came along
Tonenico
