[Our Old House — Lily]
[Intro — ambient pads, distant choir, soft wind texture, no rhythm, free tempo]
[Verse 1 — very soft vocal, sustained pads, no percussion]
I still remember how it felt back then (mm)
Shadows moving slowly on the wall
Every color fading into grey (into grey)
But I still see it when I close my eyes
Every laugh still echoes in my chest (it does)
Like a ghost that never really left
I can almost feel you next to me…
But it disappears again
[Pre-Chorus — low sub bass pulse (heartbeat style), very subtle strings]
If I go back, would it still feel real?
Or just remind me how we used to feel… (feel)
[Chorus — slow cinematic drums, wide hits, no hi-hats, deep emotional lift]
Can I go back to our old house? (old house)
Where love was loud and we were safe somehow
Or will the silence pull me down? (pull me down)
If nothing’s left but empty sound
Would I see you in the hallway light? (oh)
Or just the shadow of goodbye?
Maybe some things are better unknown…
Than going back to our old house
[Post-Chorus — airy vocal layers, no beat, floating feeling]
Our old house… (oh)
Our old house… (mm)
[Verse 2 — add soft electric guitar swells, still minimal rhythm]
Same old street but it don’t feel alive (no)
Different air, calling out your name
Every step feels heavier now (so heavy)
Like I’m walking through a memory
I remember how it used to shine (used to shine)
Now it’s just a moment trapped in time
If I open that door again…
Will it end me or set me free?
[Pre-Chorus — slightly stronger, layered vocals, deeper bass pulse]
If I walk in, will I recognize
Anything we left behind… (behind)
[Chorus — fuller, stronger strings, same slow tempo, no fast percussion]
Can I go back to our old house? (old house)
Where love was loud and we were safe somehow
Or will the silence pull me down? (pull me down)
If nothing’s left but empty sound
Would I see you in the hallway light? (oh)
Or just the shadow of goodbye?
Maybe some things are better unknown…
Than going back to our old house
[Bridge — full emotional breakdown → cinematic explosion]
[strip — vocal + distant reverb, almost silence]
Maybe I don’t need to go back there… (there)
[build — rising strings, low rumble, no percussion yet]
Maybe love still lives somewhere…
[impact — cinematic drums (slow), choir, deep bass]
Not in walls, not in space
But in every memory we made
[Final Chorus — maximum emotional peak, full orchestral + choir, slow tempo maintained]
I won’t go back to our old house (old house)
I’ll carry you, I’ll figure it out somehow
Even if it breaks me now (breaks me now)
I won’t let time erase us out
You still live in every part of me (oh)
Just not where we used to be
Maybe some love is meant to grow…
By letting go of our old house
[Outro — piano finally enters (VERY soft), ambient fade, emotional closure]
Our old house… (mm)
Still lives in me…
