Till I Found Her

[Verse 1]
I was lonely
Talking to the ceiling in the dark
Just my footsteps
And the echoes in my empty heart
Every morning
Felt like just another starting over
Same old story
Coffee cold
Dreams getting colder
[Chorus]
I was lonely
Only shadows in my room
Just echoes
Every word about you
Thought I knew love as a line I'd heard
Never knew love
Till I found her
I was falling
Didn’t know what falling was
Just echoes
Till she filled the silence up
Thought I knew love
But it all blurred
Never knew love
Till I found her (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
She said “breathe”
Like it was the first time I had lungs
Every secret
Sounded softer resting on her tongue
Sunday sidewalks
Suddenly had colors I could name
Every heartbeat
Didn’t have to hide its little shake
[Chorus]
I was lonely
Only shadows in my room
Just echoes
Every word about you
Thought I knew love as a line I'd heard
Never knew love
Till I found her
I was falling
Didn’t know what falling was
Just echoes
Till she filled the silence up
Thought I knew love
But it all blurred
Never knew love
Till I found her
[Bridge]
Now the walls remember laughter
Where the echoes used to ring
All the empty in my past life
Feels like someone else’s thing
If this is what love is
Let it last
Let it linger
[Chorus]
I was lonely
Only shadows in my room
Just echoes
Every word about you
Thought I knew love as a line I'd heard
Never knew love
Till I found her (till I found her)
I was falling
Didn’t know what falling was
Just echoes
Till she filled the silence up
Thought I knew love
But it all blurred
Never knew love
Till I found her

Dreamy pop ballad over warm electric piano and soft trap drums; intimate male vocals up close in the verse, airy doubles and reverb-smeared harmonies in the chorus. Subtle synth pads swell in the background as the song builds, with a gentle guitar line entering on the second chorus to lift the emotion. Final hook drops most instruments for a near a cappella moment, then swells back for a tender outro.
