[Verse 1]
Fluorescent hall
Names on cardboard
Hoping
Nervous paws
Little hearts wide open
I walked past rows
Trying hard to not start crying
Then your eyes
Said
“What took you so long trying?”
[Chorus]
We were strangers in a crowded room
Waiting on a someday that finally came true
All the wrong doors
All those lonely nights
Led me to that kennel and your shaking side
Out of all the souls that I could’ve met
Somehow you were the one I hadn’t found yet
Call it fate or just good timing in the end
I call it finding my best friend
[Verse 2]
Paperwork
Shaky pen
I’m smiling
You lean in
Like you know
“I’m finally driving”
First car ride
Every turn
Your ears were flying
Brand-new bed
But my old couch is where you’re lying
[Chorus]
We were strangers in a crowded room
Waiting on a someday that finally came true
All the wrong doors
All those lonely nights
Led me to that kennel and your shaking side
Out of all the souls that I could’ve met
Somehow you were the one I hadn’t found yet
Call it fate or just good timing in the end
I call it finding my best friend
[Bridge]
You don’t know the days you saved
When I couldn’t lift my face
How you curl up on my chest
Turn the noise down in my head (yeah)
You just chase the falling leaves
But you’re the one who rescued me
[Chorus]
We were strangers in a crowded room
Waiting on a someday that finally came true
All the closed doors
All those heavy nights
Led me to your number and that flicker of light
Out of all the souls that I could’ve met
Somehow you were the one I hadn’t found yet
Call it chance or starting over once again
I call it finding my best friend
