Lyrics

I met him in a bar on a rainy night,
Saw a man in the corner, lost in his fight.
I leaned in close, asked, 'Why so sad for a guy?'
He looked through me, whispered, 'Empty inside.'

You told me you were searching for something to hold,
Told me you felt lonely, as your story was told.
Then you asked me why, and that's when he said,
'I'm broken and empty, I just got back home.'

Oh, what a shame for such a handsome face,
Did you drive her away, or was it just time and space?
I had seven months at sea, and was lost in my dreams,
She left me for another, tore apart my world at the seams.

I smiled and said, 'I love the ocean and those salty waves,
How about we make memories, let’s see if love can be saved?'
Maybe we could gather the shattered pieces too,
And he said, 'It's possible if you like a broken man's view.'

I love puzzles, especially putting them back together in bed,
And told him softly, 'Let me see where this thing goes instead.'
There's beauty in the scars, in the stories that we share,
With every tear that we’ve shed, shows how much we care.

Oh, what a shame for such a handsome face,
Did you drive her away, or was it just time and space?
I had seven months at sea, and was lost in my dreams,
She left me for another, tore apart my world at the seams.

So we laughed under neon lights, as rain poured outside,
Two lost souls in the dark, finding warmth, finding pride.
With echoes of the past, behind every smile and sigh,
In this bar on a rainy night, let’s soar high.

So here’s to broken hearts, and to finding our way,
In this dance of love, come what may.
Hold me close, dear stranger, let time stand still,
With a broken man's view, let's create our own thrill.
