I See You

[Intro]

I don’t know why I keep looking…

Maybe I thought you’d look back.

Maybe I hoped you’d see it too.

[Verse 1]

You were just standing there, quiet in the noise,

Wearing silence like a shield,

I felt the static in my skin,

Like a line waiting to be revealed.

I didn’t plan to say a thing,

But the words tripped over my breath—

“Hey, nice… shoes?”

God. I’m such a mess.

[Chorus]

I see you—

Not the version that you post.

The one hiding in between

Your smile and your ghost.

I see you—

And maybe you see me too,

Just a flicker, just a stammer,

But maybe that’s where magic grew.

[Verse 2]

I laugh too loud, you barely speak,

I spill coffee, you barely blink.

But I swear there’s something there,

In your awkward glance, that makes me think.

Not fireworks or fate or stars,

Just something real and soft and strange—

Like maybe we’re the same kind of weird

On a slightly different page.

[Chorus]

I see you—

Even when you try to hide.

Behind the sarcasm and hoodies,

Behind the late-night pride.

I see you—

Like a note never sent,

But folded in my pocket

Since the day we almost meant.
