Lyric

I almost turned the corner slow

Kept my head down, didn’t know

That just one glance could spark the air

A stranger’s smile that caught me there

Didn’t mean to let you in

But warmth can slip beneath the skin

And where our shadows meet

The light feels soft, the world feels sweet

I don’t have to know your name

To feel the shift, to feel the flame

Maybe hope begins this way—

In quiet moments we don’t say

We stood in silence, side by side

The kind that doesn’t need to hide

I felt the years I’d built a wall

Start leaning gently toward a fall

You didn’t reach, you didn’t ask

But somehow broke right through the mask

And where our shadows meet

There’s room for breath, for small defeat

You showed me how the dawn begins

In open hands and softened skin

And maybe what we fear the most

Is being seen—and not a ghost

No promises, no finish lines

Just two lost hearts in borrowed time

But still, I found a pulse, a beat—

Right there, where our shadows meet

So if tomorrow comes unclear

And all I carry still is fear

I’ll look for that unwritten part

Where kindness sparks a slower start

And maybe I’m not quite complete—

But I have hope

Where our shadows meet
