[Verse 1] There was a stripe of California laid across a coffee-stained table Ice melting slow in a clear glass like it had nowhere else to be My bag sat quiet across from me older than some of my doubts ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Morning didn’t ask my name It just touched my hands ⸻ [Chorus] If it found me once if it found me once that westbound light without a reason without a cause If it found me once maybe that’s all it was ⸻ [Verse 2] Union Station faint with orange rind, citrus hanging in the air Ticket folded thin as doubt, two and some change west of here They call it a small town like fields know how to shrink But space gets wider when you let yourself think ⸻ [Whisper Hook – no instruments] If it found me once If it found me once ⸻ [Bridge] I stood outside that bus too long, not ’cause I had time to waste but ’cause I wasn’t sure if light like that ever shows up twice in the same place ⸻ [Final Chorus] If it found me once that might be enough A thin gold line across cheap wood is sometimes all you get If it found me once I don’t need to know if it’s waiting out in Tulare or if it’s already gone ⸻ [Outro – almost spoken] If it found me once … that’s enough
