Where we didn’t mean to stay

(Verse 1)(male)

He swore off love in a quiet room,

Where the walls still held her name,

Said, “I’ll take what’s easy, nothing deep—

I’m too tired for that kind of pain.”

(Female)She laughed it off in a different town,

With a heart she kept on ice,

Said, “Forever’s just a story told

To make loneliness feel nice.”

(Pre-Chorus)(male)

Two broken roads, no map, no plan,

Just passing time, just passing hands—

(Chorus)(both)

Oh, we were never meant to stay,

Just two lost souls killing time that way,

Just a spark in the dark, just a place to land,

Not a promise, not a plan—

But somewhere in the in-between,

Where “just tonight” turned evergreen,

We found a home we didn’t chase,

In each other’s quiet grace.

(Verse 2)(female)

Met on a screen with guarded words,

No dreams, no future talk,

Just “Where you from?” and “What you need?”

And “Don’t read into this, just walk.”

But her laugh came through like summer rain,

Soft and wild and free,

And he felt something shift inside

He swore he’d never need.

(Pre-Chorus)(female)

No armor on, no masks to wear,

Just honest wounds laid bare—

(Chorus)(both)

Oh, we were never meant to stay,

Just two lost souls killing time that way,

Just a spark in the dark, just a place to land,

Not a promise, not a plan—

But somewhere in the in-between,

Where “just tonight” turned evergreen,

We found a home we didn’t chase,

In each other’s quiet grace.

(Bridge)

(Male)He showed her how to breathe again

Without fear of breaking down,

(Female)She showed him love don’t always leave

When truth is spoken out loud.

(Both)No hiding scars, no dimming light,

No walking on eggshell floors,

They built a world with open doors

From hearts that had been at war.

(Break – soft, almost spoken)(female)

Funny how forever finds you

When you’re not looking for it…

When all you wanted was a moment

And it turned into a life.

(Final Chorus)(both)

Oh, we were never meant to stay,

But fate don’t care what people say,

What started small, what started fast,

Turned into something built to last—

And in the wreckage of our past,

We found a love that holds us fast,

Not by chance, not by design—

But by two hearts that chose this time.

(Outro)(female)

So here we are, no grand parade,

Just steady hands that never stray,

Two souls who ran from love so long—

Now finally where we belong.
