Why would I want to fly
Be on the last red eye
Talking to your voice, only hearing noise
Oh, it’s not enough
All of the nights I spent
Drowning my discontent
Wasting me away, everything is changed
Now that I found us
And it feels like home
Darling, if you don’t mind
I’ll take your hand tonight
We could just slow down time
Let me adore you
And from the moment I
Looked in those dark brown eyes
I can’t remember life
Before you
Why would I want to go?
Now that you’re all I know
Smiling under stars, playing “Chasing Cars”
Something ’bout the art of music in the dark
And it feels like home
Darling, if you don’t mind
I’ll take your hand tonight
We could just slow down time
Let me adore you
And from the moment I
Looked in those dark brown eyes
I can’t remember life
Before you
Oh, before you
I bet I was lost and alone
I was barely holding on
To the thought of a moment like this
I bet I was lost and alone
I was barely holding on
To the thought of a moment like this
I must have been lost and alone
I was barely holding on
To the thought that someone like you exists
Darling, if you don’t mind
I’ll take your hand tonight
We could just slow down time
Finding Home in Love
Benson Boone’s “Before You” is a heartfelt tribute to the transformative power of love. Through introspective verses, the song traces the journey from loneliness and longing to comfort and belonging. Lyrics like “I can’t remember life before you” capture the overwhelming impact a significant other can have, making the past seem distant and almost unimaginable. The gentle references to late-night talks and shared moments under the stars evoke a sense of intimacy and nostalgia. Boone’s delivery, paired with the song’s melodic arrangement, deepens the emotional resonance, inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences of finding someone who feels like home.
