Somewhere Along the Way

You’re just a part of everything
Every day, every little thing
Like it’s always been that way
Like it’ll never change

You’re the first one that I call
When something dumb goes wrong
And I don’t think twice about it
I just know you’ll pick up

⸻

Pre-Chorus
It’s easy, it’s always been
Nothing more than best friends

⸻

Chorus
We’re just like we’ve always been
Nothing new, nothing different
Just you and me, no second guess
No overthinking it

And I don’t know when it started
Or why it feels like this
But something’s shifting underneath
In everything we are

⸻

Verse 2
It’s in the way you say my name
Like it lingers, like it stays
And I catch myself replaying it
For no reason at all

And now I notice little things
Like your hand brushing mine
And how I don’t pull away
Like I used to every time

⸻

Pre-Chorus
It’s stupid, it’s nothing big
So why can’t I just ignore it?

⸻

Chorus
We’re just like we’ve always been
But it’s not the same as it was then
Now every look means something more
That I don’t understand

And I don’t know when it changed
Or why I feel like this
But something’s different when you’re close
And I can’t unfeel it

⸻

Bridge (realization hits)
What if this isn’t nothing?
What if it never was?
What if I’ve been right here
Just too scared to call it love?

And now I’m thinking about you
In ways I never did
And I don’t know how to go back
To not feeling like this

⸻

Final Chorus (fully aware now)
We’re not like we’ve always been
I can feel it settling in
Every moment, every touch
Means a little too much

And I don’t know what to do
‘Cause if I say it, we might end
But if I don’t, I’ll lose you
In a different way instead

So I’m stuck between the risk
And the life we’ve always lived
Not knowing if I should stay
Or ruin us for this
