Verse 1)
I used to check the clock at 11:11 and hold my breath,
Tracing the same old lines, scared of a spiritual death.
I’ve whispered your name into every birthday flame I’ve ever blown,
A secret prayer for a kind of grace I’d never known.
Then you walked in, not with a spotlight, but a steady glow,
Reading the chapters of my past that I was too afraid to show.
Now we’re trading playlists like they’re pieces of our map,
Finding the bridge to the chorus in the silence of the gap.
(Chorus)
You’re my soul tie, woven in the static and the silver light,
My "forever" in this life and the one beyond the night.
You’re the melody I hum when the world gets far too loud,
The silver lining stitched into every heavy, hollow cloud.
In every lifetime, I’ll find the frequency you’re on,
My birth-candle wish from the dusk until the dawn.
(Verse 2)
They say you shouldn’t have to fix what someone else tore down,
But you’re rebuilding the walls without making a single sound.
You’re healing a heart you didn’t break, stitch by careful stitch,
Turning the static of the "used-to-be" into something rich.
And God, the lyrics—how a three-minute song says it all,
We live in the metaphors, catching each other before we fall.
You quote the bridge of that one track that makes me feel seen,
And suddenly I’m not just a ghost in someone else’s machine.
(Bridge)
It’s the dark humor, the sharp edges, the sarcasm we share,
A private language that we breathe like it’s oxygen in the air.
We belly laugh until it hurts, doubled over on the floor,
At things the world wouldn’t get, but makes me love you more.
And even when I’m stubborn, when I’ve decided to be blue,
You crack that one crooked grin and I’m smiling back at you.
I didn't want to let the light in, I had my heart on lock,
But you’re the rhythm that restarted the ticking of the clock.
(Chorus)
You’re my soul tie, woven in the static and the silver light,
My "forever" in this life and the one beyond the night.
You’re the melody I hum when the world gets far too loud,
The silver lining stitched into every heavy, hollow cloud.
In every lifetime, I’ll find the frequency you’re on,
My birth-candle wish from the dusk until the dawn.
(Outro)
So keep the records spinning, keep the jokes a little mean,
You’re the best lyric that this life has ever seen.
From the first wish to the last breath, and whatever comes next,
Our love is the subtext, the song, and the sacred text.
Yeah, you’re the wish that finally came true.
In this life, and the next—it's always been you Billy it will always be you!
