A rumor away

“A Rumor Away” [Verse 1] I knew your name from a little screen, A face between the videos I’d seen. Then people started saying, “There’s something there,” Before we’d had a moment we could share. So I sent a message just to set things straight, Never thought your answer would keep me up so late. I came to clear the air, then stayed to hear your day, Funny how a rumor brought you my way. [Pre-Chorus] One little laugh became another night, One “How are you?” became “Did you sleep alright?” Somewhere between the teasing and the truth, I stopped explaining and started choosing you. [Chorus] We were a rumor away from something real, Now I’m learning your heart, telling you how I feel. There are miles between us, so much we don’t know, But I like where we’re heading, and I’m willing to go slow. Maybe one day I’ll be standing next to you, With no screen between the things we want to do. We don’t know the ending, but I hope you’ll stay— Who knew my heart was just a rumor away? [Verse 2] Now I’m learning what your quiet moments mean, And you’re meeting parts of me they’ve never seen. Past the TikTok comments, past the playful lines, There’s a person I keep wanting more time to find. I want to know what makes a hard day better, What you dream about when you picture your forever. We don’t have every answer, we’re only at the start, But every honest conversation opens up my heart. [Pre-Chorus] I never planned to wait for your reply, Or catch myself smiling without knowing why. What started as “Let’s clear up what they say” Became “I wish you weren’t so far away.” [Chorus] We were a rumor away from something real, Now I’m learning your heart, telling you how I feel. There are miles between us, so much we don’t know, But I like where we’re heading, and I’m willing to go slow. Maybe one day I’ll be standing next to you, With no screen between the things we want to do. We don’t know the ending, but I hope you’ll stay— Who knew my heart was just a rumor away? [Bridge] I wonder if we’ll laugh when we first meet, Or lose the words that used to come so easily. Will you reach for my hand? Will I hold on tight? Will saying goodbye be the hardest part that night? I can’t promise life will bring us where we plan, But I want to give this feeling every chance I can. Let’s leave a little room for what we might become, And keep showing up before that someday comes. [Final Chorus] We were a rumor away from something real, Now there’s hope in the distance, something we can feel. There are miles between us, still so much to know, But there’s no need to hurry what we want to grow. Maybe one day I’ll be standing next to you, And “I wish you were here” will finally come true. We don’t know the ending, but I’m glad we chose to stay— Who knew my heart was just a rumor away? [Outro] I reached out to tell you they had it all wrong, Now your name finds its way into every song. We’re still getting started, taking day by day— And I’m hoping the miles won’t always stand in our way.
