We were always there

Lyrics

WE WERE ALWAYS THERE (A duet for Lance & Toria) VERSE 1 – LANCE I used to sing in crowded halls Never knew you'd hear at all Just another face inside the crowd Years would pass and life got loud I walked those streets a thousand times Wrote my songs and chased my signs Never knowing somewhere close to me Was the girl I'd one day call my dream VERSE 2 – TORIA I was reading by the window light Turning pages deep into the night Mum would tell me I should go to sleep But stories always had a hold on me And there you were, a distant name A memory I couldn't quite explain A singer from a schoolgirl day That somehow never faded away PRE-CHORUS – BOTH We were chapters waiting to be read Two stars circling overhead So many almosts, so many maybes Till fate whispered, "Not yet... just wait." CHORUS – BOTH We were always there Across the years somehow Living on the same road But never looking down We were always there Just one laugh away Till a sinkside livestream changed Everything that day And now the moonlight finds us Exactly where we're meant to be Love, trust And a bit of fairy dust Brought you to me VERSE 3 – LANCE Now your books are on my bedside table Your dreams are woven through my days I know the wrinkle of your nose The little smile that gives you away And every night feels different still A doorway kiss, a window sill Main character moments we never planned Somehow finding home hand in hand VERSE 4 – TORIA Now I watch you making all your things The songs you write, the dreams you bring The gardens, stories, dogs and plans And somehow I get to hold your hand You see the parts I tried to hide The little worlds I keep inside And every day I love you more Than the day before PRE-CHORUS – BOTH All those roads that led us here Every laugh and every tear Now the picture's finally clear FINAL CHORUS – BOTH We were always there Across the years somehow Passing by each other Till love slowed us down We were always there Waiting for the day When a simple hello would finally stay And now the morning finds us Right where we're meant to be Love, trust And a bit of fairy dust You were always meant for me OUTRO (Toria) Remember that boy singing in the hall? (Lance) Remember that girl reading by the moonlight? (Both) Funny how the story ends... It doesn't. It begins.
