Wrong Time Soulmate

[Verse 1]
You walked in
I was halfway gone already
Paper-thin
Holding myself together badly
You laughed once
And my whole year changed its color
Wrong place
Wrong night
Now I dream about another
[Pre-Chorus]
You asked about my favorite city
I almost said your name instead
Felt the air turn sharp and pretty
You looked down
Like you read my head
[Chorus]
You’re my wrong time soulmate
Right heart
Wrong page
Like a song that starts
On the last line of the bridge
I hold you in a hidden place
Where you can’t see
You can’t stay
You’re my almost
My always
My wrong time soulmate
[Verse 2]
You were kind
In that careful
Guarded manner
Pulled away
Every time I stepped in closer
Maybe you
Heard my pulse say what I couldn’t
Maybe you knew
And pretended that you didn’t
[Pre-Chorus]
You’d change the subject when I lingered
Turn my confessions into jokes
But when your hand brushed past my fingers
You froze up
Like the truth was smoke
[Chorus]
You’re my wrong time soulmate
Right heart
Wrong page
Like a song that starts
On the last line of the bridge
I hold you in a hidden place
Where you can’t see
You can’t stay
You’re my almost
My always
My wrong time soulmate
[Bridge]
In another year
You would’ve called me home (oh)
We would trace a life
From coffee cups and clothes on floors
But in this one
You’re a ghost I only touch in words
A name I never say
A door I never open
[Chorus]
You’re my wrong time soulmate
Right heart
Wrong page
It was you
It was you
In every wish I never gave
So I keep you in that hidden place
Where you moved through
Couldn’t wait
You’re my almost
My always
My wrong time soulmate
[Outro]
So I’ll love you quiet
From the far side of the room
Wrong day
Wrong life
But somehow still
It’s you

Moody alt-pop ballad with soft piano and distant pads under intimate female vocals. First verse sparse and whisper-close; chorus blooms with layered harmonies and warm bass. Subtle electronic percussion grows through the second half, then pulls back to almost a cappella for the last lines, leaving space and ache.
