HERE AND NOW

Intro – soft piano]

(male vocal – calm reflective)

Funny how life works
You think the story’s done

Then one quiet night
You see someone

⸻

[Verse 1 – single pulse beat]

(single pulse beat – male vocal talk-sing)

Years went by
Different lives

Different roads we had to take

You’ve got a daughter now
And so do I

Funny how life aligns that way

Then you smiled
Across the room

And suddenly it all felt clear

Like the time between us
Disappeared

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – piano enters]

(piano enters, soft harmonies)

(male vocal – melodic)

Maybe we were meant
To meet again

(soft harmony)

Again…

⸻

[Chorus – fuller instrumentation]

(piano, soft strings, steady drums)

Here and now
Standing face to face again

All the years between us
Don’t feel far away

Here and now
Something in the way we speak

Feels like there’s a story
Still unfinished here

(band harmonies)

Here and now…

⸻

[Verse 2 – pulse beat returns]

(single pulse beat – male vocal talk-sing)

We talk like friends
Laughing again

Like nothing ever changed

Different lives
Different plans

Still somehow the same

Maybe it’s the memories
Maybe it’s the truth

Some connections never disappear

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

(piano and harmonies)

Maybe life just needed time
For us to see things clear

⸻

[Chorus]

Here and now
Standing face to face again

All the years between us
Don’t feel far away

Here and now
Something in the way we speak

Feels like there’s a story
Still unfinished here

⸻

[Bridge – softer]

(piano and light beat)

And who knows
Where we’ll be next week

Life moves fast
People change

But tonight feels simple

Just you
And me

⸻

[Final Chorus]

(full band)

Here and now
Standing face to face again

All the years between us
Don’t feel far away

Here and now
Maybe life had other plans

Maybe this moment
Is where it starts again

⸻

[Outro – piano]

Here and now
That’s all we have
