Lyrics

Verse 1

I stopped showing up on Friday nights

Started taking roads with no street signs

Said I needed room to figure things out

But I was just drifting farther south

Thought if I kept enough miles between

Who I was and who You wanted me to be

Maybe I could leave the past behind

Maybe I could finally clear my mind

Chorus

You were looking for me

Looking for me

Before I knew that I was lost

Before I could believe

You were looking for me

Looking for me

Through every mile I put between

Who I was and who You see

I was one of a hundred

Just one in a crowd

But You left the ninety-nine behind

And came all the way for me

Verse 2

I thought the dark would hide me well

Thought the distance worked like some kind of spell

But every road I tried to disappear

Only seemed to bring You near

Like love had already made its choice

Calling softly through the noise

The farther that I wandered out

The closer that You came somehow

Chorus

You were looking for me

Looking for me

Before I knew that I was lost

Before I could believe

You were looking for me

Looking for me

Through every mile I put between

Who I was and who You see

I was one of a hundred

Just one in a crowd

But You left the ninety-nine behind

And came all the way for me

Bridge

I wasn't looking for a rescue

Wasn't trying to be found

I was building walls around my heart

Certain they would keep You out

But every road led straight into

The kindness I could not escape

While I was running from You

You were running toward me

While I was running from You

You were running toward me

Final Chorus

You were looking for me

Looking for me

Before I ever turned around

You were already on Your way

You were looking for me

Looking for me

Through every mile I put between

Who I was and who You see

I was one of a hundred

Just one in a crowd

But You left the ninety-nine behind

And came all the way for me

Outro

While I was running from You

You were running toward me

All along

You were looking for me
