[Verse 1]
He walked in looking rugged, like he’d been on a rough road
Carrying a heavy heart or some kind of secret load
And out of every single person crowded in that space
I was the very first one that he looked at in the face
The whole room disappeared when our eyes finally met
It was a moment that I knew I never would forget
[Chorus]
I carried a darkness that lasted most of my life
A cold, heavy shadow that cut like a knife
Then he pulled me close and he quieted the screams
And broke up the cycle of my worst kind of dreams
Twenty-four hours was all that it took
To change my whole world with one rugged look
[Verse 2]
Now I go about my days and I do what I’m supposed to do
But a part of me is always looking around for you
At every crowded counter and every passing face
I’m searching for the man who put my spirit in its place
I know the odds are long and you’re a thousand miles away
But I keep my eyes wide open every single day
[Bridge]
Do you stop in your tracks when a stranger walks by?
Do you catch yourself looking up at the same sky?
I have to believe that it wasn't just me
Who was changed by the things that we didn't foresee
Are you out there right now under some different light
Searching the world for the girl from that night?
[Chorus]
I carried a darkness that lasted most of my life
A cold, heavy shadow that cut like a knife
Then he pulled me close and he quieted the screams
And broke up the cycle of my worst kind of dreams
Twenty-four hours was all that it took
To change my whole world with one rugged look
[Outro]
I just keep on wondering if you’re looking for me still.
Yeah, I’m hoping that you are.
And I’m trusting in the timing of a higher fate
To pull us back together down the line.
Until we cross paths again...
I'll be right here
