Second chances

(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

---

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

---

(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

---

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

---

(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…

---

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
