Until I Met You

I brew my coffee strong and slow,

And sing off-key with the radio.

Dance barefoot in the morning light,

No one watching, yeah,

and that’s all right.

I read ‘til dawn and sleep past noon,

Change my mind like I change the tune.

My peace is mine and it fits just fine,

No heart to chase,

no ties to bind.

Until I met you,

I never knew that quiet could ache.

The silence I claimed

echoes your name.

You made my freedom

feel like a chain to break

And Now I’m lonely in ways I never knew—

Since I met you.

I used to love my empty bed,

Stretch out wide, no words unsaid.

Weekends were mine, no give or take,

Wine for one and a slice of cake.

No second voice, no storms to fend,

No heart to guard,

no wounds to mend.

I held the stars all on my own,

Never felt the pull of home.

(oh no) Until I met you,

And you smiled like you already knew— My world was steady,

but missing a view.

Now every joy feels half-in-two,

I was whole before,

now I’m just me without you.

Since I met you.

I was safe in the dark,

fine on my own,

Didn’t know what I missed ‘til you carved out a home.

Now the life that I loved feels too tight in my chest

— You showed me the more,

and I can’t love it less.

(ooooh) I walk the streets we never shared,

And I laugh, (ha) ‘cause damn—it’s true,

You made me miss what I never knew.

(oooh) Until I

met you, I was fine with my sky so blue.

Now every sunset feels

overdue. You ruined my peace with something true— And I’d trade my

calm for the storm of you.

Since I met you Since I met you.
