The One I See

A song I wrote. I recorded it with Suno. I'm probably not the voice anyone wants to hear. Hopefully I can get a better video out at some point If you'd like to buy me a coffee for some reason https://ko-fi.com/justjones254 Lyrics (Verse 1) I caught myself daydreamin' at a stoplight, Wonderin' where this old road might lead. Little white house with a wraparound porch, Two acres and some shade trees. I saw her standing in that kitchen, Laughing like she always do. A life we never got to live… Still felt so damn true. (Pre-Chorus) It’s strange how some people leave the room, But they don’t leave the dreams. (Chorus) Funny how a man can make a thousand plans, Pick a place, pick a dream, pick a road to run. But when he pictures who he’s sharing it with, His heart still picks the same one. It ain’t about holding onto yesterday, It ain’t about a second chance. Some loves don’t end when the story does, They just find another place to dance. You can chase a dream, build a brand new life, Go wherever you’re meant to be. But when I close my eyes and see tomorrow… You’re the one I see. (Verse 2) I thought about building something bigger, Chasing a future I could call my own. Working late, chasing that dream, Like I still had something left to prove. But for a second I could hear you laughing, Soft like you always knew the truth. After all these years you’re still the voice, That turns my whole world around. (Bridge) Maybe that’s the secret nobody tells you When you’re young and chasing dreams… The greatest loves don’t always stay, But they carve the man you’ll be. (Final Chorus) Funny how a man can make a thousand plans, Thinks he knows exactly what he needs. Then somewhere between the years and miles, His heart still shows him what it sees. It ain’t about rewriting history, It ain’t about who’s standing by your side. It’s about the one who shaped the man I am, And the dreams that still burn inside. When I picture the road still waiting, When I picture who I’m gonna be… There’s one thing time didn’t take from me: You’re the one I see.
