2. Ella Mae (艾拉・梅）

描写那份对陌生人的微妙好奇——
想靠近、想了解，却明白彼此终将擦肩。
这是一首关于偶然与错过的歌，
为无法开始的故事，留下一声轻叹。
A reflection on the quiet curiosity of wanting to know a stranger—
a fleeting connection that lingers, even when words are never exchanged.
A song about chance, distance, and the beauty of what never begins.

There’s a girl who lives down the street on Rocky Ridge
She’s got brown hair and green eyes, those you get mesmerized by
She goes by Eliana, but her friends call her Ella Mae
Maybe someday she’ll grow out of that name

Don’t know her voice, but I dream her laugh, like a melody I almost had
Does she dance when no one’s around?
Do her friends make her doubt herself?

Ella Mae, what’s your favorite song?
Do you dream about being a star? Or do you lock your light in a jar?

Ella Mae, do you talk to the stars?
Maybe you’re more than your name
Hope the girl I see never fades

Through a cafe window, face buried in a book
Saw you write little notes on napkins then leave it for the waiter to find
You draw hearts in the steam on the glass, match strangers when they pass
Maybe that’ll be you soon, with somebody who sees you too

Ella Mae, what’s your favorite song?
Do you dream about being a star? Or do you lock your light in a jar?

Ella Mae, do you talk to the stars?
Maybe you’re more than your name
Hope the girl I see never fades

Maybe you’re the kind of girl who hides in plain sight, carving constellations in the night sky
You don’t even know the heads you’ve turned,
I’ve built a whole song from your name, Ella Mae

Ella Mae, do you talk to the stars?
Maybe you’re more than your name
Hope the girl I see never fades
