Lyric

I know you’re here before I turn — the air gives you away

I’m still close in the open now, I’m hearing it the same

The leash cuts wide across the grass

Before the dogs decide to run

A laugh breaks loose behind the trees

Then lands where someone else begun

Your shadow reaches first, then slips

A fraction I can’t call a gap

You touch the rail, it’s already warm

From hands that missed the same exact step

I know you’re here before I turn — the air gives you away

I know you’re here before I turn — the air gives you away

I know you’re here before I turn — the air gives you away

I’m still close in the open now, I’m hearing it the same

A child spins past the edge of balance

Falls into a stranger’s cheer

Two phones lower at the same second

Like something cleared the air right here

The spacing shifts between our feet

Not faster — just out of line

The ground accepts us half a breath

After we thought we’d crossed in time

I know you’re here before I turn — the air gives you away

I know you’re here before I turn — the air gives you away

I know you’re here before I turn — the air gives you away

I’m still close in the open now, I’m hearing it the same

Your hand opens before I reach

Already shaped to let me in

I match a pace you never set

But somehow left a mark within

I know you’re here before I turn — the air gives you away

I know you’re here before I turn — the air gives you away

I know you’re here before I turn — the air gives you away

I’m still close in the open now, I’m hearing it the same

The path remembers how we passed

Not straight, but close enough to stay

The air keeps moving where we were

Like it never needed space
