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
