Lyrics

[Intro]
Steam writes ghosts across the glass
I hold my breath and let them pass
A pair of eyes waits in the haze

[Verse 1]
Years of brushing past that window
Counting cracks to dodge her stare
I kept my gaze like borrowed winter
Thin and quiet, never there
Whispered names I wouldn’t answer
Floating, safe and out of frame

[Build]

[Chorus]
I meet myself in my own eyes
Fog draws back and the girl arrives
Not repair, just return of the light I left behind
I meet myself in my own eyes
Edges soften into lines
Every angle learns my name and I recognize
I meet myself in my own eyes
(my own eyes)

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
Fingerprints make comet arcs
Wipe a path through weathered lies
My mouth says hello like a first word
And the glass replies with mine
Something settles without mending
Still the tremor fades from flight

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
I meet myself in my own eyes
All the static slips behind
Not someone new, just the one I thought I’d lost in time
I meet myself in my own eyes
Pulled to focus, frame aligns
Home appears in the iris where the distance dies
I meet myself in my own eyes
(my own eyes)
I meet myself in my own eyes

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
Don’t look away
Stay with me
I know this face
Say my name softly

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
Morning gathers in the lines
I blink and I don’t drift this time
I meet myself in my own eyes
(my own eyes)
