(Verse 1)
You stepped where the shadows breathe slow
Where the roots remember bones
Didn’t hear me—no, not yet
But I felt you in my chest
Every branch bent just enough
Every silence spoke too much
You don’t know what found you here
But I’ve always been this near
---
(Pre-Chorus)
Don’t run when the dark feels kind
Don’t flinch when it learns your mind
There’s a pulse underneath your skin
That’s been calling mine in
---
(Chorus)
I’m the hush between the trees
I’m the air you couldn’t leave
I don’t chase—I let you come
Like you’ve always known
I’m the warmth inside the cold
Hands you didn’t mean to hold
Say my name and you’ll remain
Where the forest keeps your name
---
(Verse 2)
You looked at me like you knew
Like the wild in me met you
Something ancient, something real
Something neither could conceal
Your breath caught—I felt it too
Like the night was pulling you
Closer than you meant to be
Closer than you thought you’d need
---
(Pre-Chorus)
Don’t lie—you can feel it now
That pull you won’t speak about
It’s not fear—it’s something deep
Something yours to keep
---
(Chorus)
I’m the hush between the trees
I’m the air you couldn’t leave
I don’t chase—I let you come
Like you’ve always known
I’m the warmth inside the cold
Hands you didn’t mean to hold
Say my name and you’ll remain
Where the forest keeps your name
---
(Bridge — softer, intimate, almost whispered)
Stay…
You don’t have to understand
I won’t break what I can’t mend
Close…
Let the quiet take your breath
You’re not lost—you’re just… mine yet
---
(Final Chorus — more intense)
I’m the echo in your veins
I’m the hunger, soft and strange
You can fight it, you can run
But you’ll come undone
I’m the wild you couldn’t tame
I’m the spark inside your flame
Say my name and you’ll remain
Where the forest keeps your name
---
(Outro)
And when the world forgets your sound…
I’ll be the one who tracks you down.
