Lyrics
[Intro]
We found a place behind the hills
Where time would bend, where silence thrills
A quiet land of hidden signs
They called it yours, they called it mine
[Verse 1]
We learned to speak in sparks and light
Turned every wrong into something right
You showed me how to hold the air
Like something real was always there
We laughed like kids with open hands
Tracing shapes we didn’t understand
You said “it’s yours, just take it slow”
And we believed you’d always know
[Pre-Chorus]
But every spell we tried to keep
Took a little more than we could see
Something quiet in between
All the time we couldn’t read
[Chorus]
Oh, we danced like we were free
Magic running underneath
Said the world would let us be
If we showed them what we see
But they don’t feel it like we do
They don’t see it breaking through
So we smile and let it fade
Like a trick we never made
[Verse 2]
We stepped outside with glowing hands
Showed them things they couldn’t stand
They said it’s wrong, it’s not the same
You don’t belong inside our frame
They called it noise, they called it fake
A different kind they wouldn’t take
And all the ones who knew the game
Said we were something else to blame
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every word we try to say
Feels like it’s slipping far away
Something broken in the light
Something we can’t justify
[Chorus]
Oh, we danced like we were free
Magic running underneath
Said the world would let us be
But they closed it quietly
Now they don’t feel it like we do
They don’t see it breaking through
So we smile and let it fade
Like a trick we never made
[Bridge]
I still remember where we ran
Back when we didn’t understand
It gave us everything we dreamed
Then took the space in between
Now the doors don’t open wide
New hands knocking from outside
We’re just echoes passing through
Of something that once felt true
[Final Chorus]
Oh, we danced like we were free
Magic running underneath
Now there’s nowhere left to be
Just the ghost of what we dreamed
And they won’t feel it like we do
They won’t see it breaking through
So we hold it quietly
Something no one else can see
[Outro]
We found a place behind the hills
But nothing stays the way it feels
Still I keep it in my mind
A kind of magic left behind
We found a place behind the hills
Where time would bend, where silence thrills
A quiet land of hidden signs
They called it yours, they called it mine
[Verse 1]
We learned to speak in sparks and light
Turned every wrong into something right
You showed me how to hold the air
Like something real was always there
We laughed like kids with open hands
Tracing shapes we didn’t understand
You said “it’s yours, just take it slow”
And we believed you’d always know
[Pre-Chorus]
But every spell we tried to keep
Took a little more than we could see
Something quiet in between
All the time we couldn’t read
[Chorus]
Oh, we danced like we were free
Magic running underneath
Said the world would let us be
If we showed them what we see
But they don’t feel it like we do
They don’t see it breaking through
So we smile and let it fade
Like a trick we never made
[Verse 2]
We stepped outside with glowing hands
Showed them things they couldn’t stand
They said it’s wrong, it’s not the same
You don’t belong inside our frame
They called it noise, they called it fake
A different kind they wouldn’t take
And all the ones who knew the game
Said we were something else to blame
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every word we try to say
Feels like it’s slipping far away
Something broken in the light
Something we can’t justify
[Chorus]
Oh, we danced like we were free
Magic running underneath
Said the world would let us be
But they closed it quietly
Now they don’t feel it like we do
They don’t see it breaking through
So we smile and let it fade
Like a trick we never made

But nothing stays the way it feels
Still I keep it in my mind
A kind of magic left behind
