You called my name on a quiet day
Like the breeze that brings the sun
I looked behind, but time had gone
Only our laughter carried on
I walked the streets we used to know
Leaves were falling just like then
You said that love would always grow
But some things break and never mend
I kept a letter never sent
Folded corners, words undone
You always knew I held it in
Too scared to lose, too tired to run
Even if we lost our way
Even if we changed with time
There’s a place we both can say
I was yours, and you were mine
So hello, again
To the dreams we never named
To the promises we thought had slipped away
Still echoing in quiet rain
So hello, again
To the hearts that once were shy
To the hands that couldn’t say goodbye
This is where we still belong
I found your song in passing cars
Faint as dust beneath the moon
A melody of who we are
That came too late, but not too soon
You always painted skies with hope
I was thunder, loud and proud
But in the silence that you wrote
I finally heard your voice out loud
Even if the days moved on
Even if the colors fade
Every moment we were wrong
Led us back to where we stayed
So hello, again
To the tears we used to hide
To the words we whispered only in our minds
Still waiting on the other side
So hello, again
To the time we put on hold
To the warmth we thought had gone cold
This is where we still belong
Not a start, not an end
But a rhythm we pretend
To forget until we hear it once again
If this is home
Then let’s begin
So hello, again
To the light behind your eyes
To the quiet love that never really died
Still dancing in the morning sky
So hello, again
To the versions we outgrew
To the real me and the real you
This is where we still belong
