Again ⏳
(Verse 1)
(Soft piano intro, reflective and warm)
We built this castle slowly, stone by patient, careful stone,
Through sunny summer gardens and the winters we have known.
But sometimes the foundation settles, the weather changes fast,
And we forget the moment that we swore this love would last.
The noise of life is heavy, the static starts to creep,
And we get lost in duties when we should be falling deep.
If I look in your eyes and see a stranger looking back,
Know that I’m ready to drop everything and turn back on the track.
(Chorus)
'Cause I don't know the how, and I don't know the when,
But darling, if I ever get the chance, I want to begin again.
Oh, baby, if we ever feel distant, if we ever grow apart,
I will come and rediscover you, I will start over right from the start.
And there will be a sign, a whisper on the wind,
My love, that is the moment when we will begin again.
Yeah, darlin', we can begin again.
(Verse 2)
We have a history written in laughter and in tears,
A volume filled with stories through the passing of the years.
But growth means constant changing, and sometimes we diverge,
We stand on different shorelines as the restless waters surge.
If you feel that quiet pressure, the pulling of the tide,
Don't think that all we built together suddenly has died.
It only means we're ready for a chapter fresh and new,
To learn the latest person that I find inside of you.
(Chorus)
'Cause I don't know the how, and I don't know the when,
But darling, if I ever get the chance, I want to begin again.
Oh, baby, if we ever feel distant, if we ever grow apart,
I will come and rediscover you, I will start over right from the start.
And there will be a sign, a whisper on the wind,
My love, that is the moment when we will begin again.
Yeah, darlin', we can begin again.
(Bridge)
(Music builds, strings or a strong guitar lead join in)
This isn't an ending, it's just a pause for breath,
A sacred understanding that defies even death.
We don't need a grand gesture, no reason to apologize,
Just the look of recognition shining in each other's eyes.
We'll strip away the habits, the expectations and the strain,
And find the pure affection running through us like a vein.
(Chorus)
'Cause I don't know the how, and I don't know the when,
But darling, if I ever get the chance, I want to begin again.
Oh, baby, if we ever feel distant, if we ever grow apart,
I will come and rediscover you, I will start over right from the start.
And there will be a sign, a whisper on the wind,
My love, that is the moment when we will begin again.
Yeah, darlin', we can begin again.
(Outro)
(Music softens to piano and vocals, very tender)
Just a whisper on the wind...
We can start over right from the start...
Yeah, darlin', we can begin again.
(Piano fades out on a hopeful, sustained chord)
