Lyrics
Instrumental Introduction
Verse 1
I spent my youth chasing thrills—
nights in smoky bars,
daring hands,
taste of whiskey on kisses deep,
and promises no one meant to keep.
I thought I needed the fire-
the rush of the unknown,
a voice loud enough,
to drown my own doubts.
But every morning,
the silence came back, more,
Insistent, colder than before.
Pre-Chorus
Fire burns fast-
a thrill that's fleeting
while the ashes,
settle around your feet.
Chorus
Then I found you-
not my opposite,
my anchor.
Then I found you,
Your quiet laugh,
the way you listen
as if every word mattered.
I found you, and,
You weren’t the chaos I craved,
but the calm I didn’t know I needed.
And for the first time,
I felt completed.
When I found you
I found you
instrumental break
Verse 2
You weren’t a whirlwind.
You were coffee on a Sunday morning-
steam rising between us,
bare feet brushing under the table.
Your questions weren’t a test,
just a bridge.
You didn’t want to fix me.
You just stayed. Didn't flee.
We spoke the same language
in different accents-
favorite books,
childhood scars,
dreams we didn’t know how to say out loud.
Compromise
it wasn’t fireworks.
It was the sunrise.
Pre-Chorus
Thrills fade,
but love grows steady,
like ivy climbing a wall—
quiet, unbreakable,
patient, unshakable.
Chorus
Then I found you-
not my opposite,
my anchor.
Then I found you,
Your quiet laugh,
the way you listen
as if every word mattered.
I found you, and,
You weren’t the chaos I craved,
but the calm I didn’t know I needed.
And for the first time,
I felt completed.
When I found you
I found you
Drop
Bridge
You taught me love isn’t in the falling.
It’s in the staying.
In the way you remember
I like my eggs over easy,
or how you sing off-key
just to make me laugh out loud.
It's steady in the stillness,
away from the crowd.
I thought I needed fire-
but you’re the flame
that never goes out.
That always remains.
Chorus
Then I found you-
not my opposite,
my anchor.
Then I found you,
Your quiet laugh,
the way you listen
as if every word mattered.
I found you, and,
You weren’t the chaos I craved,
but the calm I didn’t know I needed.
And for the first time,
I felt completed.
When I found you
I found you
Youuuuuuu
Youuuuuuu
Outro
Until I found you,
I didn’t know
what love could be.
Not a summer storm,
but a steady breeze.
Not a match,
but a home.
Shelter from the storm.
I thought I needed fire-
but you’re the flame
that never goes out.
That always remains.
Chorus
Then I found you-
not my opposite,
my anchor.
Then I found you,
Your quiet laugh,
the way you listen
as if every word mattered.
I found you, and,
You weren’t the chaos I craved,
but the calm I didn’t know I needed.
And for the first time,
I felt completed.
When I found you
I found you
Youuuuuuu
Youuuuuuu
Outro
Until I found you,
I didn’t know
what love could be.
Not a summer storm,
but a steady breeze.
Not a blazing torch,
Unsustainable
but a home.
Shelter from the storm.
