[Verse 1]
(Soft, reflective)
I see your face across the crowded street
The years fall away, but my heart skips a beat
All the words we left unsaid
Are echoing inside my head
I thought I'd buried all the could-have-beens
But here you are, and it all begins… again
---
[Chorus]
Maybe this time, the stars align
Maybe this time, the hurt unwinds
Maybe fate was never cruel, just late
Maybe hearts that break can still be whole
Maybe this time… we'll finally know
---
[Verse 2]
(A little stronger, more hopeful)
You look at me like nothing’s changed at all
But I see the cracks where we let it fall
The nights we almost made it right
The dreams that slipped into the night
But maybe endings aren’t the only truth
We’ve still got time to rewrite our youth
---
[Chorus]
Maybe this time, the stars align
Maybe this time, the hurt unwinds
Maybe fate was never cruel, just late
Maybe hearts that break can still be whole
Maybe this time… we'll finally know
---
[Bridge]
(Building emotionally)
I've been running from the past
But it’s standing here at last
Do we turn away, or take the leap?
'Cause I still lose you in my sleep…
---
[Final Chorus]
Maybe this time, the stars align
Maybe this time, your hand in mine
We'll rewrite the story, slow and true
There’s still a song left here for two
Maybe this time…
(Soft, hopeful)
…maybe this time…
We’ll finally know
