Note Between the Pages

I found your note tucked deep in the spine

Between old pages and a borrowed line

Ink still fresh like you knew my name

A small little spark and a quiet day

I read it slow and the room leaned in

Like a door I missed had opened within

Your words hit soft but they stayed all night

Turning the gray into thread of light

And I felt my chest go stiff

The whole world bent too well

Just a folding page, one sign

That you were somehow on my mind

You changed my day with a light so small

Like sunlight breaking through the hall

A paper heart and a library book

One hit, enough, one second, look

And I keep hearing what you wrote

'Cause off that smoke, that little hope

Now every page feels a little more bright

Since you left your name inside my life

I walked on home with a lifted step

Something holy, I almost left

City noise couldn't shake the glow

A quiet message moving slow

Your handwriting made the air feel new

Like there was color where there used to be blue

I played it back in my mind like a song

Simple and small, but it hit so strong

And I felt my chest go still

Like the whole world bent to a will

Just a folded page, one sign

And you were somehow on my mind

You changed my day with a life so small

Like sunlight breaking through the hall

A paper heart in a library book

One hidden note, one second look

And I keep hearing what you wrote

Soft as smoke, that little hope

Now every page feels a little more bright

Since you left your name inside my life

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Maybe that's how the good things start

Mind with a shout but a stitched up heart

In a hush where the dust won't swell

Put a little grace in my day

If I find you there beyond the shelf

Break this story back to yourself

Some small words can set you free

And some quiet signs can carry me

Same day with a mind so small

Like sunlight breaking through the hall

A paper heart in a library book

One hidden note, one second low

And I'll keep hearing what you wrote

Soft as smoke, that little hope

Now every page feels a little more bright

Since you left your name inside my heart

Talk to the phone, you stay with me

A little more, a new memory

Soft as a verse in the back of my mind
