[Verse 1 – soft, rap-sung over acoustic guitar]
Yeah, I still see your name in street signs,
Still hear your laugh in my cheap rhymes.
Tried to outrun it, yeah, I tried,
But memories don’t ever miss a red light.
You were eyeliner, chain smoke nights,
I was hoodie-up, avoidin’ all fights.
But I fought for you — God, I bled for you,
Now I’m just ink and a voice that’s forgettin’ you.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – light melody]
You were chaos in a calm disguise,
I was thunder beggin’ for clear skies…
But maybe…
⸻
[Chorus – punk vocals, full band kicks in]
Maybe one day, you’ll hear this song,
On a car ride home, and you’ll sing along.
Maybe one day, you’ll feel that sting,
Of what we lost in the in-between.
I still dream like I got no shame,
Tattooed love with a stranger’s name.
Maybe one day… maybe one day…
You’ll wish you stayed.
⸻
[Verse 2 – rap with slight distortion, kicks + lo-fi guitar]
Yeah, you ghosted like it was Halloween,
Now I haunt my own thoughts, stuck in repeat scenes.
We were fire escapes and fake IDs,
Now I’m burnin’ through songs tryna find peace.
Told your friends I was just some phase,
But your shadow still dances in my bad days.
Swear I’d fix it if I ever got the chance,
But time’s a liar in skinny jeans and black Vans.
⸻
[Bridge – stripped back, vocoder/harmony fx]
I still keep your texts in a folder I never read,
Guess I like the ache more than I need the relief.
And if you hear this…
Don’t call.
Just know I meant it all.
⸻
[Final Chorus – louder, rawer]
Maybe one day, you’ll hear this track,
Late night, heart cracked, takin’ it back.
Maybe one day, you’ll scream my name,
In a crowd of ghosts who all look the same.
I still write like I can’t let go,
Singin’ “what if” to an empty show.
Maybe one day… maybe one day…
You’ll wish you’d known.
⸻
[Outro – acoustic fade, whispered repeat]
Maybe one day… maybe one day…
You’ll wish you stayed.
