Love When the World Was Still is a quiet reflection on a relationship shaped by stillness. Written from a distance, it looks back at a moment when closeness felt inevitable—and at how that closeness faded once movement returned. The song is less about loss than about timing, and about how some forms of love exist only under specific conditions.
Love When the World Was Still
The city held its breath
Days folded into screens
Big things, small things everywhere
None of them belonged to us
You crossed the empty streets
To stand beside me
In that moment
The world was muted
This was love when the world was still
Obstacles pulled us closer
When every road was cut off
We only had each other
This was love when the world was still
Danger made the touch feel real
The world stopped moving
And somehow proved we existed
We spoke of endless futures
Inside borrowed time
Bodies turned honest
Words became unnecessary
Fear stayed outside the door
Desire stayed inside
In those days
Love was a permitted exception
This was love when the world was still
Even doubt felt steady
As long as we could meet
Tomorrow didn’t scare us
This was love when the world was still
The weaker everything felt
The more we believed
This was real
Later on
Big things, small things kept happening
The world slowly restarted
Crowds returned to their places
Time remembered its speed
And we
Ran out of reasons
Coughs no longer caused alarm
Temperature went back to numbers
The world kept moving forward
And we
At the point with no barriers left
Drifted apart
And we
At the point with no barriers left
Drifted apart
And we
At the point with no barriers left
Drifted apart
