[Intro – soft piano]
(male vocal – conversational)
You ever sit back and think…
How fast everything changes?
⸻
[Verse 1 – single pulse beat]
(single pulse beat – male vocal talk-sing)
Feels like yesterday
We were just kids with big plans
Talking about the future
Like we knew where we’d land
Now everybody’s older
Different lives, different roads
Some people moved away
Some people never came home
⸻
[Build – piano enters softly]
(male vocal)
Funny how the years
Slip right through your hands
⸻
[Chorus – melody opens, piano and soft strings]
(male vocal – sung)
Life moves fast
Faster than we ever knew
One day you’re chasing dreams
Next day they’re chasing you
Life moves fast
But somehow we still stand
⸻
[Verse 2 – single pulse beat]
(single pulse beat – male vocal talk-sing)
People fall in love
People fall apart
Some people find peace
Some people find scars
And nobody tells you
How quickly things change
One minute you’re young
Next minute you’re not the same
⸻
[Build – piano returns softly]
(male vocal)
Maybe growing up
Means letting go
⸻
[Chorus – fuller instrumentation]
(male vocal – emotional)
Life moves fast
Faster than we ever knew
One day you’re chasing dreams
Next day they’re chasing you
⸻
[Bridge – piano and single pulse beat]
(male vocal – reflective)
And maybe that’s the point of it all…
We’re not meant to stay the same
⸻
[Final Chorus – full but gentle]
(male vocal – sung)
Life moves fast
But somehow we still stand
⸻
[Outro – piano fading]
(male vocal – calm)
Still standing…
