The static hum of a crowded street
Then silence falls when our glances meet
I don't know your name, or the town where you grew
But my hands remember the shape of you
The ink may fade on the pages of time
But the rhythm stays, a wordless rhyme
We’re drifting through the centuries
Like salt spray carried on the breeze
I’ve been looking for you since the stars were young
In every language my tongue has ever swung
Through the rise and the fall of empires and dust
In a world made of iron, a heart made of rust
Maybe we were ships in a different sea
Or lanterns burning in the Ming dynasty
I recognize the way you tilt your head
It’s a story I’ve already lived and read
The ink may fade on the pages of time
But the rhythm stays, a wordless rhyme
We’re drifting through the centuries
Like salt spray carried on the breeze
I’ve been looking for you since the stars were young
In every language my tongue has ever swung
Through the rise and the fall of empires and dust
In a world made of iron, a heart made of rust
If the universe ends and the lights go out
I’ll find you in the dark without a doubt
No tunnel, no bridge, no silver thread
Just the pull of the words we’ve always said
“Wait for me.”
“I’m already there.”
I’ve been looking for you since the stars were young
In every language my tongue has ever swung
Through the rise and the fall of empires and dust
In a world made of iron, a heart made of rust
Every "hello" is just a "welcome back"
A bridge built over a temporal crack
Every "hello" is just a "welcome back"
A bridge built over a temporal crack
Every "hello" is just a "welcome back"
A bridge built over a temporal crack
Every "hello" is just a "welcome back"
A bridge built over a temporal crack
Then silence falls when our glances meet
