“Something to Believe In”
Lyrics by Maddyn Nolen
We were young and chasing meaning,
Clocking in to chase our dreams.
Different rings on different fingers,
But the spark was in between.
* * *
Late nights and coffee-fueled laughter,
Lines we never meant to cross.
In the silence, something lingered?—
A feeling neither could shake off.
* * *
I’m waiting for something to believe in,
A truth that won’t fade in the light.
I’m caught between what’s right and what’s needed,
Between the day and the dark of the night.
The world keeps on turning, but my heart’s still pleading?—
I’m waiting for something to believe in.
* * *
The years rolled on, the songs kept playing,
We stood side by side each night.
The crowd could feel the fire between us,
Though we kept it out of sight.
* * *
You were bound by vows and friendship,
I was tied by fear and pride.
Every note became a promise?—
Of the love we had to hide.
* * *
