[Intro – soft piano]
(male vocal – reflective)
Strange how the years go by
You don’t really notice
Until one day
You look back
⸻
[Verse 1 – single pulse beat]
(single pulse beat – male vocal talk-sing)
We were young
Running wild
Thinking life would never change
Late night talks
Big old dreams
Everything felt far away
Then the world
Started moving
Quicker than we understood
Friends drifted
People faded
Some stayed where they stood
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – piano enters softly]
(piano enters, soft harmony)
(male vocal – melodic)
Funny how the past
Feels close tonight
⸻
[Chorus – fuller instrumentation]
(piano, soft strings, steady drums)
Years between
Feel smaller now
All the memories
Come rushing back somehow
Years between
But I still see
The people we were
In the people we became
(band harmonies)
Years between…
⸻
[Verse 2 – pulse beat returns]
(single pulse beat – male vocal talk-sing)
Some moved on
Some stayed close
Some we never saw again
Old photographs
Old street lights
Still remember where we’ve been
And every laugh
Every tear
Somehow shaped the road we’re on
Life kept turning
While we learned
How to carry on
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
(piano and soft harmonies)
(male vocal)
Funny how the past
Still feels alive
⸻
[Chorus]
Years between
Feel smaller now
All the memories
Come rushing back somehow
Years between
But I still see
The people we were
In the people we became
⸻
[Bridge – softer moment]
(piano and light pulse beat)
(male vocal – emotional)
And maybe growing older
Means learning how to see
Every moment back then
Built the life we lead
⸻
[Final Chorus – full lift]
(full band, strong harmonies)
Years between
Don’t feel so far
All the roads we walked
Made us who we are
Years between
But deep inside
Those younger hearts
Are still alive
⸻
[Outro – piano fading]
(male vocal – calm)
Strange how the years go by
