Through the Noise

Verse 1

String lights flicker over crowded streets

Cinnamon and static in the cold

Everyone's got somewhere else to be

But I stopped the second you said hello

Bells are ringing, register dings

Carols bleeding out of every door

Your voice found me like a single string

Pulled tight and humming through the floor

Pre-Chorus

Could a stranger's laugh cut this deep

Through a hundred voices calling out my name

Am I losing sleep over a feeling I can't keep

Or the one thing worth the ache

Chorus

I heard you through the noise

Clear as a bell above the crowd

Every carol, every voice

Went quiet when you said my name out loud

Snow keeps falling, streets stay loud

But I found you through the noise

Verse 2

Now the market's packing up for the night

Vendors folding tables one by one

Your train's called boarding, platform nine

Steam still rising where we stood

You wrote a number on a coffee sleeve

Said find me when the season's not so loud

I'm learning how one moment makes you believe

In everything the silence couldn't drown

Pre-Chorus

Could a stranger's laugh cut this deep

Through a hundred voices calling out my name

Nine days till Christmas and I can't sleep

Cause I think I found the one thing worth the ache

Chorus

I heard you through the noise

Clear as a bell above the crowd

Every carol, every voice

Went quiet when you said my name out loud

Snow keeps falling, streets stay loud

But I found you through the noise

Bridge

Maybe the noise was never the crowd

Maybe it's the years I spent alone

Now every silence sounds so loud

Since you called this stranger's he
