[Verse 1]
First time
You were late to class
I was early
Coffee stain on your sleeve
Pen in your hair like a crown
You laughed
Spilled your stories all over the table
Said
"I talk too much"
I said
"Not yet
Keep going"
[Chorus]
If I get seven little lifetimes
I’m still wasting all of them on you
Same face in a thousand timelines
I’d still choose the long way back to you
If the sky resets and the years rewind
I’ll be lost
I’ll be wrong
I’ll be new
Seven little lifetimes
Still falling into you
[Verse 2]
Next time
You were crying in a stranger’s kitchen
Bare feet on a cold tile floor
Phone on the counter
Glowing
You said
"Everyone leaves when the room gets quiet"
I said
"Then I’ll learn to love
The sound of the quiet with you"
[Chorus]
If I get seven little lifetimes
I’m still wasting all of them on you
Same face in a thousand timelines
I’d still choose the long way back to you
If the sky resets and the years rewind
I’ll be lost
I’ll be wrong
I’ll be new
Seven little lifetimes
Still falling into you
[Verse 3]
Third life
We’re older in a smaller city
Groceries in a paper bag
Keys in the wrong apartment door
You smile
Like you’ve almost heard this story
Like your hands remember mine
From someone else’s memory
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me
Do you ever get that
Echo in your chest at night?
Like a hallway
Full of strangers
But one shadow fits just right
[Chorus]
If we get seven little lifetimes
I’m still wasting all of them on you
Same laugh in a hundred dark nights
Still the only sound that pulls me through
If the stars reset and the roads realign
I’ll be lost
I’ll be scared
I’ll be new
Seven little lifetimes
Still walking home to you
[Bridge]
Maybe we were rain
Falling on the same sad rooftop
Different storms
Same street
Running down to meet
Maybe we were names
Crossed out on some old love letter
Wrong address
Right ink
Pulled apart by the crease
[Bridge]
One life where we miss it (so close)
One life where we try (too late)
One where we’re just friends
Sharing secrets at the gate
One where we burn fast
Match to gasoline
One where we grow slow
Moss over concrete
[Chorus]
If we get seven little lifetimes
I’m still wasting all of them on you
Same soul in a thousand glances
Still the stranger that I always knew
If the sky resets and the years rewind
I’ll be lost
I’ll be wrong
I’ll be new
Seven little lifetimes
Still reaching out for you
[Outro]
Last time
If it ever really has a last time
Find me in the quiet room
Breathing like I’ve been here before
I’ll say
"I don’t know why
But I remember"
You’ll say
"I was waiting too"
And we’ll start again from the door
