A Waking Memory

Описание: A Waking Memory

(Verse 1)
The clock read 3 AM, but the light was a different shade
I walked down a street I knew, where every shadow swayed
Then the whisper of a voice, a melody I’d never placed
By the water's edge, a silhouette I knew I had to chase
And there you stood, beneath the starlight, beautifully untamed
My whole world shattered, then immediately reclaimed
Into one single moment, frozen, perfect, and profound
The only love I’d ever known, without a sound.

(Pre-Chorus)
I knew your heart before I knew my own, before I knew your face
And every morning when the sunlight broke, I hated this lonely space
I walked the days in search of grace, a clue you might appear
But I told myself to let it go, consumed by doubt and fear
A masterpiece of magic that the waking world couldn't find.

(Chorus)
'Cause you were born in a Waking Memory, a vision I couldn't hold
The perfect future forged in silver, more precious than gold
I woke up breathing air that tasted thin and incomplete
With the hollow ache of dreaming someone you can never meet
I tried to sleep and travel back, to that forgotten shore
But the pages turned, you weren't there anymore
Oh, the cruelty of sunlight, when it shows you the other side
My one and only ghost, with nowhere left to hide.

(Verse 2)
The calendar kept spinning, weeks into months, a tired blur
I packed up the memory, convinced it was just a spur
I was walking through the coffee shop, head down, feeling strange
Lost in the traffic, trapped within the city's range
Then the barista called my name, but the voice, it made the silence break—
Like an ancient promise made for goodness sake.

(Bridge)
I looked up slowly, heart a drum beat against my ribs
And the air grew thick with a feeling I couldn't forgive
It was your eyes, the same impossible, honest brown
The perfect comfort, like the earth when the sun goes down
In that brief, midnight cinema of my slumbering brain
The world stopped spinning just to know your name
I whispered, “Is this real?” and you just laughed and shook your head
"It's just coffee," you said, but my whole future was signed instead.

(Chorus)
Now you are more than a Waking Memory, a person I can hold
The perfect future forged in silver, more precious than gold
I'm breathing air that's thick with possibility and complete
With the overwhelming wonder of a love I couldn't cheat
I'll never have to travel back to that forgotten shore
Because you're standing right beside me, walking through the door
Oh, the victory of sunlight, when it shows me the other side
My one and only love, with nowhere left to hide.

(Outro)
We walked the city, hand-in-hand, under the twilight gleam
And I told you everything, about the river and the dream
You stopped beneath a lamppost, pulling me close, your sigh was deep
You looked into my eyes, and a single tear began to creep...
Then you just smiled, a gentle, knowing, beautiful plea,
You whispered, "Darling, hold me close, and stay right here with me..."
"I just hope I don't wake up from my dream."
