Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said it like a dare
Over chipped blue cups
The room went still
Like it held its breath
We were half a step
From saying too much
Still I heard you say
What I couldn’t touch
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe the years
Would teach us soft
Maybe the hurt
Would wear itself off
If we had more
Than this one night
We might get good
At telling the truth right
[Chorus]
If we lived forever
If we lived forever
Maybe we’d have time
To understand things
If we lived forever
If we lived forever
Maybe we’d learn
What all this means (all this means)
[Verse 2]
I keep your face
In the edge of sleep
Where the hard questions
Come back clean
I want the answer
But not too fast
I want the moment
To actually last
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe the years
Would sort us out
Maybe the fear
Would leave our mouths
If we had more
Than this one night
We might get good
At staying inside the light
[Chorus]
If we lived forever
If we lived forever
Maybe we’d have time
To understand things
If we lived forever
If we lived forever
Maybe we’d learn
What all this means (all this means)
[Bridge]
But now the clock
Keeps its own pace
And every goodbye
Has a shape
So hold my hand
Like you mean it now
Some things are lived
Before they’re found out
[Final Chorus]
If we lived forever
If we lived forever
Maybe we’d have time
To understand things
If we lived forever
If we lived forever
Maybe we’d learn
What all this means (all this means)
If we lived forever
If we lived forever
Maybe you and I
Wouldn’t need the end

Indie pop ballad with slow-swung pulse and warm acoustic guitar, soft kick and hand percussion; verse stays intimate with fingerpicked guitar and sparse bass, pre-chorus opens with stacked harmonies and rising snare taps, chorus blooms with gliding synth pad and doubled lead vocal. Bridge drops to voice and piano, then final chorus adds gang harmonies, reverse swells, and a shimmering tail. Close-mic vocal, bright and emotional mix.
