Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You laugh at my jokes I drink every word You’re talking ’bout someone I wish I had heard You say I’m your safe place You hug me, then go I walk home replaying The things you don’t know [Chorus] In another life, we got it right You were reaching for my hand in the kitchen light We were more than this almost, more than this might In another life, we got it right But in this one I’m just your friend tonight [Verse 2] You call in the midnight “Can we just escape?” I’m wide open windows You’re drawing the drapes You say that you love me Then finish it slow “Like a brother, you’re perfect” I smile, say “I know” [Chorus] In another life, we got it right You were falling into me on a quiet night We were more than these stories I rewrite In another life, we got it right But in this one I’m just your friend tonight [Bridge] Maybe somewhere I was brave Didn’t tuck my heart away Maybe there you turned and stayed When I caught your eye Maybe we don’t have to lose Maybe I’m the one you choose I live there when I can’t stand Watching you say goodbye (again) [Chorus] In another life, we got it right You were looking at me like I’m the answer, right? We were more than this almost in my mind In another life, we got it right But in this one You’re laughing at my side And in this one I keep it all inside

Moody indie-pop ballad with male vocals, fingerpicked guitar and soft piano. Intimate, close-mic verses that sit almost whisper-quiet, then a lifted, bittersweet chorus with airy pads and subtle harmonies. Gradual build into a slightly wider final hook, kick and floor toms blooming in to underline the ache, then ending on a single held vocal over sparse chords.
