Verse 1
Why did that feel normal?
I reached for your hand.
You'd hold it...
But you never reached for mine.
I'd wait at every doorway...
You were already through.
I never knew
The smallest moments
Could tell the biggest truth.
Chorus
I thought that's how love worked.
I'd reach first...
You'd meet me there.
I'd close the distance...
You'd stand somewhere.
I never questioned
Why I was always moving.
Love was supposed to meet me halfway.
Verse 2
Our first kiss...
I closed the distance.
You kissed me back.
I never wondered
Why I was always
The one moving first.
I'd always ask
For one more picture.
You'd smile...
Ready to leave.
I thought I was saving memories...
I was trying to save us.
Verse 3
Every morning
My name lit up your phone...
Because I made sure it did.
I'd always send
The first "good morning."
The first "How was your day?"
The first "I miss you."
Funny...
I thought I was
Starting conversations.
I never realized...
I was keeping us alive.
Chorus
I thought that's how love worked.
I'd text first...
You'd text me back.
I'd dream first...
You'd smile at that.
I never questioned
Why I was always moving.
Love was supposed to meet me halfway.
Bridge
It wasn't the hand.
It wasn't the doorway.
It wasn't the kiss.
It wasn't the picture.
It wasn't the text.
Looking back...
I reached first.
I kissed first.
I texted first.
I planned first.
I dreamed first.
I was always first.
Every distance...
I closed it.
Final Chorus
Love was supposed to meet me halfway.
Why was I
The only one walking?
You never pulled away...
You just never stepped closer.
Looking back...
Every little memory
Finally makes sense.
I thought we were building forever...
I was building it alone.
