(Verse 1)
Larry woke up on the floor
In a crowded room
Said give my best to
The bride and groom
Ran out the door
Keys in his hand
Didn’t say a word
No one could understand
(Hey hey hey)
⸻
(Verse 2)
Pressed to the window
Watched him disappear
Half grin hanging
Like he lost his fear
Must’ve been a message
Buzzing in his head
Changing every mile
Before he left the bed
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
So I gave him a call
Asked where he went
There was a silence
Like a heart well spent
He finally answered
Voice unsteady, but true
Said I figured out
What I gotta do
⸻
(Chorus)
Love won’t wait
You gotta run out and chase it
Love won’t wait
You gotta risk just to taste it
Before it’s gone
You’ll regret it forever
She called me home
It’s now or never
(Verse 3 (Arrival))
Streetlights blur
On a cracked windshield
Every mile gone
Something softly healed
Pulled to the curb
Hands tight on the wheel
House lights glowing
Didn’t know what he’d feel
Walked up the steps
Heart louder than sound
Knocked on the door
No one else around
⸻
(Pre-Chorus 2 (Quiet realization))
He almost turned
Said this was a mistake
Then the door opened
And his whole world shook awake
⸻
(Bridge (Indie emotional peak))
She said I thought
You’d never come back
He said I got lost
But I found the right track
No perfect words
No grand design
Just two people
Outrunning time
The silence spoke
What they couldn’t say
Some chances fade
But some find a way
⸻
(Final Chorus (Lifted, layered vocals))
Love won’t wait
You gotta run out and chase it
Love won’t wait
You gotta risk just to taste it
Before it’s gone
You’ll regret it forever
She called me home
It’s now or never
(Add gang vocals / octave lift)
Now or never
Now or never
⸻
(Outro (Resolution vignette))
Larry laughed
Like he finally knew
Some roads end
So others break through
Door closed slow
Night settling in
Not every goodbye
Is where stories end
