I Don’t Know Your Name

Another evening.
Another empty chair.
I turn the key,
and no one knows I'm there.

I talk to silence.
I leave one light on low.
Sometimes I wonder
how long a heart can wait alone.

Somewhere,
you must be living too.

I don't know your name.
I don't know your face.
I don't know what road
will bring you to this place.

But how can I miss you
when we've never even met?
Somewhere in this world,
I believe you're out there yet.

Maybe you come home
to another quiet room.
Maybe you look up
at the same September moon.

Maybe you are waiting,
thinking no one understands.
Maybe all we're missing
is one night, one door, one chance.

Somewhere,
you must be waiting too.

I don't know your name.
I don't know your face.
I don't know what road
will bring you to this place.

But how can I miss you
when we've never even met?
Somewhere in this world,
I believe you're out there yet.

I don't need perfect.
I don't need forever promised.

I just want someone
who feels like home.

I don't know your name.
I don't know your face.
But somewhere in this world
there must be a place

where you will find me,
and I'll finally understand
why I spent so many nights
waiting for your hand.

Until then,
I'll leave one light on.
