INTRO
Low guitar pattern begins, slow and steady.
⸻
VERSE 1
The room feels louder when I’m by myself,
Every thought lined up on a crowded shelf.
They say time moves fast, but tonight it drags,
Like it’s waiting on something I don’t have.
⸻
VERSE 2
I’ve been trying to read every sign I see,
Looking for answers that don’t come easy.
Everyone else looks sure of the road,
I’m just learning how to carry the load.
⸻
PRE-CHORUS
If I pause for a moment, feel my feet on the ground,
I remember I’m here, I’m still around.
⸻
CHORUS
There’s a quiet between seconds where I finally hear,
Who I am underneath all the noise and the fear.
I don’t need the future figured out tonight,
I just need to keep walking toward the light.
⸻
POST-CHORUS (soft vocalization)
La… la… la…
La… la…
⸻
VERSE 3
The world keeps asking what I’ll become,
Like the finish line’s closer than where I’m from.
But every step teaches something new,
Even the ones I didn’t choose.
⸻
FINAL CHORUS
There’s a quiet between seconds where I finally breathe,
Where I don’t have to be more than me.
If this is the start, then I’m alright,
I’ll keep moving forward one beat at a time.
⸻
OUTRO
Guitar rings out, unresolved but calm.
La…
La…
