Lyrics
I wasn’t lookin’ for forever
Just another street, another night
I’d been runnin’ on borrowed time
Chasin’ ghosts under neon lights
This town had a pull I couldn’t explain
Like it knew my name before I came
Every corner felt like déjà vu
Like my past was walkin’ me toward you
Pre-Chorus – 0:55–1:10
They say you choose where you’re goin’
But I swear some roads choose you
Every step was leading somewhere
Every sign was pointing true
Chorus – 1:10–1:40
I love the theory that a city calls you
When your story’s already drawn
That the love you’ve been waiting for
Was written in the streets all along
Every wrong turn brought me closer
Every lonely night made sense
If this town hadn’t pulled me in
I never would’ve found you like this
Verse 2 – 1:40–2:15
You were standin’ in that late-night diner
Laughin’ like you’d been there before
Like you knew I’d walk through that door
Like fate was clocked in on the floor
Your hand fit mine like muscle memory
Like it always knew where it belonged
All my almosts and maybes
Turned into somethin’ strong
Pre-Chorus – 2:15–2:30
I don’t believe in perfect timing
But I believe in now
Some hearts collide on purpose
Right where they’re meant to be found
Chorus – 2:30–3:00
I love the theory that a city calls you
When your story’s already drawn
That the love you’ve been waiting for
Was written in the streets all along
Every wrong turn brought me closer
Every lonely night made sense
If this town hadn’t pulled me in
I never would’ve found you like this
Bridge – 3:00–3:30
If I’d stayed where I was
If you’d taken another train
If one light changed one second later
We’d still be strangers with the same old pain
But something bigger moved the pieces
Like a hand I couldn’t see
This city didn’t just change my address
It led you straight to me
Final Chorus – 3:30–3:55
(bigger, strings rise)
I love the theory that a city calls you
When your story’s already drawn
That the love you’ve been waiting for
Was written in the streets all along
I was lost till I walked right into you
Now I know where I belong
This town didn’t just feel like home
It’s where our forever started from
Outro – 3:55–4:10
(Piano strips back, breathy vocal)
Yeah…
Guess the city knew my heart
Before I did
