Nothing Feels Like Us Lyrics
I still remember that ordinary day,
Mountain air and clouds just drifting away,
I never thought my whole world would begin,
With one shy smile and the way you looked in.
I didn't know that destiny could hide,
Inside a moment passing quietly by,
But suddenly the world felt warm and new,
The second that I looked at you.
And now every road I walk feels different somehow,
Every dream I had is standing here now,
Because all the little things I used to love,
Started shining brighter because of us.
Cause when we're sitting close with music in our ears,
The world disappears and silence gets clear,
Movies and stories and dreams we run through,
I found another heartbeat inside of you.
And if the stars one day forget to shine,
I'll still have your hand holding onto mine,
Because I searched forever without a clue,
And nothing in this world feels like us two.
I see your eyes in the colors of the trees,
I hear your voice dancing inside the breeze,
I hear your laughter hidden in songs,
Like somehow that's where you belonged all along.
Late night talks that turn into sunrise skies,
Losing ourselves in each other's eyes,
Pages and stories, worlds we explore,
Then somehow I fall for you even more.
Because every little memory starts to stay,
Like photographs that never fade away,
And every piece of who I used to be,
Feels like it was waiting patiently.
Cause when we're sitting close with music in our ears,
The world disappears and silence gets clear,
Movies and stories and dreams we run through,
I found another heartbeat inside of you.
And if the stars one day forget to shine,
I'll still have your hand holding onto mine,
Because I searched forever without a clue,
And nothing in this world feels like us two.
Maybe we're small beneath the endless sky,
Just tiny souls watching the years pass by,
Maybe we're only dust in galaxies,
Floating through space with our memories.
But if life is a storm and the nights become cold,
If someday we're tired and growing old,
I'll still look at you exactly the same,
And feel my whole heart burst into flames.
Cause when we're sitting close with music in our ears,
I'd stay there with you for a thousand years,
No matter where this strange life leads us to,
My safest place will always be with you.
And if tomorrow everything falls apart,
You'll still be the rhythm inside my heart,
If I had a million lives to live anew,
I'd still find my way back home to you.
So hold me close and don't let go tonight,
Stay with me under these quiet skies,
Because I already know one thing is true...
My forever has always been you.

Behind the Song
The Story Behind Nothing Feels Like Us
Every Skamilian song begins with a vision.
For Nothing Feels Like Us, that vision was surprisingly simple: two people standing together in silence, surrounded by the vast landscapes of the North. There was no battle to fight and no destiny to challenge—only the feeling that, for a brief moment, the world had become complete.
The song was written to capture those quiet moments that often define the deepest relationships. Instead of dramatic declarations, it celebrates comfort, trust and the rare peace found when two souls truly understand each other.
Within the Skamilian universe, Nothing Feels Like Us serves as a reminder that not every legend is forged through conflict. Some are born through kindness, patience and unconditional love.
