What Searching is about
The single that introduced Gabriela Marina, and the opening track of her debut album Late Night Whispers. She walks the city at night after a breakup, looking for a familiar face in the haze and hearing an old voice in every song, until the last verse turns into an apology: "Sorry for the way I walked away."
Searching lyrics
Walking through the city lights, no sleep
Faces in the shadows, they cut deep
I hear your voice in echoes, haunting me
I'm searching
I'm searching
Street signs blurring in the hazy glow
The city's pulling me where I don’t wanna go
Moonlight tracing paths I used to know
I’m searching
I’m searching
I’m searching
Searching
For your face
I’m searching
Searching
For your face
I’m searching
Searching
Searching
Through the haze
I reach the park where we once stayed till dawn
Your laughter fades, the memory feels so wrong
I’m chasing ghosts that I can’t hold on to
I’m searching
Still searching
Street signs blurring in the hazy glow
The city's pulling me where I don’t wanna go
Moonlight tracing paths I used to know
I’m searching
I’m searching
Street signs blurring in the hazy glow
The city's pulling me where I don’t wanna go
Moonlight tracing paths I used to know
I’m searching
I’m searching
I’m searching
Searching
For your face
For your face
I’m searching
Searching
Through the haze
Searching
Through the haze
Through the haze
Through the night
Sorry for the way I walked away
I hear your name in every
song that plays
A silhouette of us in yesterday
I’m searching
I’m searching
For you
