LIKE WE NEVER LEFT - SmoothBeat77

[Intro – Soft] Yeah… It's been a long time… Funny how some people Still feel like home. [Verse 1 – Rap] Saw your name on a screen after all these years For a second I forgot how long you'd disappeared You said, “Hey, how have you been?” I stared at the message with a stupid little grin We used to talk until the morning came Now we're strangers who still know each other's names You asked if I wanted to catch up sometime I said, “Yeah,” like I hadn't thought about it a thousand times We met at that old café downtown Same little corner, same familiar town You looked different, but your smile stayed the same And suddenly the years between us disappeared again [Pre-Chorus] We changed We grew We lived a thousand days without each other But sitting here Feels like yesterday [Chorus – Melodic] Like we never left Like no time had passed Like every conversation Was still where we left it last Like we never left Like you still know me After all these years You're still so easy to be around Maybe some connections Don't really disappear They just wait quietly Until we find our way back here [Verse 2 – Rap] We talked about the things we never got to say The people we became along the way You told me about the places you had seen I told you about the life I thought I'd be living We laughed about our younger selves The stupid little dreams we put on shelves You said, “We were just kids back then” I said, “Yeah, but I'd still do it all again” There wasn't any pressure to explain No need to make up for the years away Some friendships don't need constant conversation They survive the silence and the separation Then the evening came and you had to go I wanted to say more, but I took it slow You smiled and said, “Let's not wait so long” And somehow that felt like the perfect song [Pre-Chorus] We changed We grew We lived a thousand days without each other But sitting here Feels like yesterday [Chorus – Bigger] Like we never left Like no time had passed Like every conversation Was still where we left it last Like we never left Like you still know me After all these years You're still so easy to be around Maybe some connections Don't really disappear They just wait quietly Until we find our way back here [Bridge – Emotional] Maybe we were meant to lose touch Just long enough to become ourselves Maybe we needed different roads To understand what we had back then I don't know what tomorrow brings I don't need to call this anything I'm just grateful that somehow Life brought you back around [Final Chorus – Powerful but Smooth] Like we never left Like the years just faded Like every little memory Was waiting to be awakened Like we never left And maybe that's enough Some people come and go But some connections stay with us Maybe we don't need answers Maybe we don't need a plan Just knowing you're here again Feels better than I can explain Like we never left… Like we never changed… Like somewhere underneath it all We were still the same. [Outro – Soft] Yeah… Same laugh. Same smile. Different lives… But somehow… It still feels like home.
