You didn’t write it but it feels like it knew you.
It just showed up on shuffle, in a café, buried in a playlist. You weren’t looking for it. But it found you. The lyrics wrapped around something quiet you hadn’t said out loud. The rhythm moved like your memories. You played it again. And again. Suddenly, your whole day looked different, like it had a new narrator. You weren’t alone in your thoughts anymore someone else had mapped them into melody. And in that echo, you felt seen.
