When Our Eyes Meet

Verse 1

You took the train that runs east out of town,

I learned a different route and tried to slow down.

We packed our promises into cardboard and tape,

Told ourselves the silence would reshape.

Pre-Chorus

We practice smiling at strangers in cafés,

Swap old playlists for brighter days.

Chorus

But when our eyes meet, the map falls apart,

Every compass point pulls back to the heart.

We walk different miles to forget the street,

But our eyes keep tracing the place where we meet.

Verse 2

You keep late hours, I answer the phone,

We fill the spaces with things we should own.

New faces, new stories, a carefully closed door,

Yet there’s a language in the look we can’t ignore.

Pre-Chorus

We rehearse the lines we’ll say when we pass,

But wonder lives in a glance that lasts.

Chorus

But when our eyes meet, the map falls apart,

Every compass point pulls back to the heart.

We walk different miles to forget the street,

But our eyes keep tracing the place where we meet.

Bridge

Maybe one day the streets will forget our names,

Maybe sunlit mornings will dull these flames.

Until then, in crossings and quiet retreats,

The truth keeps coming back in the way our gaze speaks.

Chorus (soft)

When our eyes meet, all the distance shrinks,

Old footprints stirring up what we think.

We keep walking on, learning how to leave,

But our eyes hold the thing we can’t unsee.

Outro

So we go separate ways with the same quiet beat—

Two hearts moving on, but stopping when our eyes meet.
