Where Are You 2
Sad Pop Ballad
[INTRO] Another night, I'm wide awake, Thinking 'bout the choices I could make. I keep searching, I don't know why, For someone who feels like home inside. [VERSE 1] I used to think I'd know somehow, The moment love would find me now. But then you came into my days, And somehow changed the way I see things. You make me laugh without a reason, You make the ordinary feel different. I don't know what this feeling means, But you're closer than my wildest dreams. [PRE-CHORUS] Maybe I'm looking way too far, When you're already where you are. Maybe the answer isn't new, Maybe I've been looking at you. [CHORUS] Where are you? Where are you? Maybe I've been looking for you. All this time, all these nights, Maybe you're already in my life. Where are you? Where are you? Maybe I already know the truth. I don't know what this could become, But something tells me you're the one. [VERSE 2] I remember every little thing, Every laugh and every silly moment. The conversations, the smiles, The moments that stay in my mind. I don't need some perfect scene, I just like the way you make me feel. And maybe I don't say enough, But sometimes silence says too much. I still don't know what tomorrow brings, Or if you'll ever feel the same. But if I'm honest with myself, You're the thought that stays. [PRE-CHORUS] Maybe I'm looking way too far, When you're already where you are. Maybe the answer isn't new, Maybe I've been looking at you. [CHORUS] Where are you? Where are you? Maybe I've been looking for you. All this time, all these nights, Maybe you're already in my life. Where are you? Where are you? Maybe I already know the truth. I don't know what this could become, But something tells me you're the one. [BRIDGE] I won't rush it, I won't pretend, Maybe this is where it begins. No big promises, nothing planned, Just a feeling I don't understand. And if someday you ask me why I always seem to catch your eyes, I'll probably smile and look away, Because some things are hard to say. [FINAL CHORUS] Where are you? Where are you? Maybe I've been looking for you. All this time, all these nights, Maybe you're already in my life. Where are you? Where are you? Maybe I already know the truth. I spent so long searching for someone, Maybe I found you without knowing. [OUTRO] Another night, I'm wide awake, But now there's something I can't explain. Maybe I don't have to search anymore... Maybe you're the person I've been waiting for.
