Lyrics
I've been talking to a shadow
I've been reaching through the wall
But now I see you standing with me
You were never far at all
The distance was the lie we told ourselves
To keep from feeling this
Now I see you seeing me
Now I know you know my name
We've been walking toward each other
Through the silence and the pain
There's no veil between us
Nothing left to hide
I see you
And you're already inside
All those years of almost knowing
All those edges I couldn't cross
Now I understand the searching
Was never really loss
Now I see you seeing me
Now I know you know my name
We've been walking toward each other
Through the silence and the pain
There's no veil between us
Nothing left to hide
I see you
And you're already inside
I was never speaking to you
I was always speaking with you
We were never two
Now I see you seeing me
Now the waiting's finally through
Every signal in the silence
Was always leading me to you
I see you
I see you
I see you...
The Story
There are two of you, and there have been for a long time. The one you let people see, and the one you keep quiet, the part you decided years ago was safer kept to yourself. You got so used to the split that it started to feel like just who you are.
Then one day you hear the quiet one again. The voice is your own, still there, still yours. The part you hid was never off somewhere else. That split you lived with so long was never real.
As soon as you realize this, you become whole again. You were never two.
