Prompt / Lyrics
Title: “In Another Life” Verse 1 I wear this gold band like it’s armor on my hand Built a quiet life, just the way we planned Front porch lights and Sunday morning pews A name on the mailbox I got used to But every now and then down Maple Street I see your truck parked across from me We nod like strangers, play pretend Two old flames we’ll never fan again Pre-Chorus There’s a wildfire buried deep Under promises we keep We don’t let it show But Heaven knows Chorus In another life, maybe we were brave Maybe we were reckless, maybe we were saved Maybe we didn’t let the timing steal All the truth we were too scared to feel Now we’re just two shadows passing by With wedding rings and wandering eyes We don’t cross that line, we just hold the lie But I’m yours in another life Verse 2 I’ve memorized the silver in your hair The way regret still lingers there You ask about my kids, I ask about your wife We talk about the weather, not about that night When you almost said, “Don’t let him in” And I almost tore this whole world thin But almost is a lonely word And love unspoken still gets heard Pre-Chorus There’s a wildfire buried deep Under promises we keep We don’t let it show But Heaven knows Chorus In another life, maybe we were brave Maybe we were reckless, maybe we were saved Maybe we didn’t let the timing steal All the truth we were too scared to feel Now we’re just two shadows passing by With wedding rings and wandering eyes We don’t cross that line, we just hold the lie But I’m yours in another life Bridge We chose the safe road, the steady hands The picket fences and wedding bands But late at night when the house is still I swear I hear your voice against my will You’re somebody’s husband, I’m somebody’s wife We’re good people living decent lives But there’s a ghost between “what is” and “was” And sometimes that ghost still touches us Soft Chorus In another life, we’d let it burn We wouldn’t have so much to lose or learn We’d say your name without disguise And love without alibis Final Chorus (Full) In another life, maybe we were brave Maybe we were reckless, maybe we were saved Maybe we didn’t let the timing steal All the truth we were too scared to feel So we walk away, we do what’s right We kiss our spouses goodnight But somewhere past these borrowed lives I’m yours in another life Outro We don’t cross that line… We just let it be Two hearts tied to different dreams Still beating quietly.
