[Intro]
Met you on a Tuesday
Lost you by the weekend
Still, I kinda kept you
Folded in my brain, like
[Verse 1]
First one, blue hair
Laughing in a thrift-store chair
Second one, brown coat
Met her at a latenight show
Third one, soft eyes
Crying in the checkout line
We talked about nothing
Felt like I knew her whole life
I never promised a forever
Just a moment we could share
You put your hand inside my jacket
I just said, "I'm really here"
[Chorus]
A thousand little lifetimes
A thousand different hearts in my hands
We fall in love, then I let go
Like writing our names in the sand
Every story, every sunrise
Every "hi" that turns into "bye"
A thousand soulmates in my timeline
I love, I live, then I don't ask why
[Verse 2]
Number eight, late train
Scribbling her poems on the window pane
Nine, ten, same bar
We were arguing about stolen art
Some didn’t stay the night
Some stayed long enough to fight
Some taught me how to cook
Some just vanished in the light
I never begged you for an ending
Never asked you to be mine
You laid your head onto my shoulder
I just said, "We have this time"
[Chorus]
A thousand little lifetimes
A thousand different hearts in my hands
We fall in love, then I let go
Like writing our names in the sand
Every story, every sunrise
Every "hi" that turns into "bye"
A thousand soulmates in my timeline
I love, I live, then I don't ask why
[Bridge]
[low vocal register, building tension]
Let it crash
Let it shatter
Let it blaze
Let it scatter
Every whisper’s
A scream in disguise
Every farewell
Ignites the next high
[full voice, [crescendo]]
So take my jacket in the rain
Take my number, lose my name
Take this minute like a flame
We don't owe this thing a frame
[Chorus]
A thousand little lifetimes
A thousand different hearts in my hands
We fall in love, then I let go
Like writing our names in the sand
Every story, every sunrise
Every "hi" that turns into "bye"
A thousand soulmates in my timeline
I love, I live, then I don't ask why
Verse 3]
Eleven, wild curls
Dancing barefoot on the rooftop
Looking for a thrill
Twelve, quiet smile
Whispered secrets down a moonlit mile
Thirteen, tattooed arms
Holding me through our morning alarms
We shared a coffee, chased a dream
Felt like eternity in between
I never chased you down the highway
Never wrote you into stone
You traced your fingers on my heartbeat
I just said, “You’re not alone”
[Final Chorus]
A thousand little lifetimes
A thousand beating hearts in my hands
We fall in love, then I let go
Like footprints fading in the sand
Every memory, every midnight
Every “stay” that slips to “goodbye”
A thousand soulmates in my timeline
I love, I lose, but I feel alive
PYL
