I saw your face on a glowing screen Two decades back, it feels like a dream You loved a band I didn’t know So I played their songs just to let it show I recorded a line, hoping you’d see A quiet confession that never left me Half a world away, miles in between Still you lived inside my dream Back then, I should’ve told you so That you lit me up, I didn’t let it show Now you’re a memory I can’t erase A ghost in my timeline, a familiar face I was a kid with a restless heart Held back by distance, kept in the dark Never thought I’d cross the sea So I kept the words locked inside of me Every chord still carries your name But I never asked if you felt the same Now the years have slipped away And I’m left with what I didn’t say Back then, I should’ve told you so That you lit me up, I didn’t let it show Now you’re a memory I can’t erase A ghost in my timeline, a familiar face The songs still play, but the moment’s gone And I keep wondering what we could’ve become
