Quiet Between Seconds

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…
