Verse 1)
I said I’d wait until you made it home,
Phone on the table, staring like it might explode.
Told myself I’d breathe once I knew you were safe—
But your name kept running circles in the quiet of my place.
Every song on the radio turned into something about you,
I tried to shake it off but the truth just slipped right through.
(Pre-Chorus)
And there I was, pretending I could play it cool,
But every second felt like breaking my own rules.
(Chorus)
’Cause I’m searching for you in every room I walk into,
Like some part of me believes you might appear out of the blue.
Every word that he says, I’m hearing it in your voice—
Is that something you would say too, or am I just losing the choice
To forget you like I swore I’d do?
Oh, I’m searching for you.
(Verse 2)
Funny how a stranger’s laugh can sound like yours,
How I double-take at shadows near the open doors.
I told my friends I’m fine, that I’m not falling fast—
But you’re stitched into every moment, even ones that haven’t passed.
And I don’t know when it happened, or if you feel it too,
But waiting for your message felt like waiting for the truth.
(Pre-Chorus)
And I hate how much I mean every word I said,
When I promised I’d move on once I could clear my head.
(Chorus)
But I’m searching for you in every room I walk into,
Leaving space beside me like I’m saving it for you.
Every joke that he makes, I’m wondering if it’s something
You would’ve laughed at too—yeah, it’s exhausting
How everything turns into you.
Oh, I’m searching for you.
(Bridge)
Tell me am I foolish, am I dreaming in the dark?
Is this just infatuation or the slow burn of a spark?
’Cause I waited for you once—
Now I’m waiting for a sign—
That the thought of me has ever crossed your mind.
(Final Chorus)
Still I’m searching for you in every room I walk into,
Like a ghost that follows quietly but feels too much like you.
Every word that he says feels wrong in all the places
Yours would’ve fit right through—
And I guess the truth
Is I never stopped wanting you.
Oh, I’m searching for you.
