Verse 1
I tell myself I'm doing better now
Got good at not turning your memory around
Most days your name just drifts on by
Like a song I used to know by heart
I've learned how to fill the empty space
Stopped looking for you in every place
Built a life that finally feels okay
But then I think...
What if someday?
Pre-Chorus
A grocery store aisle
A stoplight downtown
One second changes everything now
Chorus
If I see you again
Will my heart forget all the reasons it should?
Will the years disappear like I knew they would?
Will the hurt fade away?
Will the walls break down?
Will I hear your voice and remember the sound?
If I see you again
Will I walk away or fall right back in?
'Cause after everything
After all this time
I still don't know what happens
If I see you again
Verse 2
I've played that moment a thousand ways
What I'd say, what I'd change
Would I smile? Would I run?
Would I pretend you were someone?
Would we laugh about all the years?
Would we dance around what happened here?
Or would the silence tell the truth
That some scars never quite leave you
Pre-Chorus
It's funny how one face
Can still hold that much power
Even after all these hours
Chorus
If I see you again
Will my heart forget all the reasons it should?
Will the years disappear like I knew they would?
Will the hurt fade away?
Will the walls break down?
Will I hear your voice and remember the sound?
If I see you again
Will I walk away or fall right back in?
'Cause after everything
After all this time
I still don't know what happens
If I see you again
Bridge
Maybe I'd be stronger now
Maybe I'd be fine
Maybe I'd just wave hello
And keep on driving by
Or maybe one look from you
Would pull me back through every year
And I'd find out all at once
You never really disappeared
Final Chorus
If I see you again
Will my heart start racing before I can think?
Will it all come flooding back in one blink?
Will I remember why we failed?
Or only how it felt?
Will I be somebody new?
Or still a little bit myself?
If I see you again
Will I finally get the answer I've been chasing?
Or will I learn that some questions
Were never meant to be explained?
After everything
After all this time
There's only one thing I know...
I'd recognize you anywhere
Outro
If I see you again...
I hope my heart knows what to do.
