Lyrics
Intro - 30 seconds
Single piano notes - sparse, haunting
Ambient pad - vast, cosmic
Breath - intimate, present
(Whispered)
Somewhere...
In another timeline...
We got this right
Verse 1
Minimal: piano, soft pad, breathing
Vocal: breathy, intimate, regretful
Met you at the wrong decade
After I'd already made
All my choices, built my walls
Couldn't hear you when you called
Timing's cruelest architect
Built us perfect, then wrecked
Every chance we could have had
'Cause I wasn't ready then, and that's sad
Pre-Chorus
Bass note entering - subtle, grounding
Pad swelling slightly - emotion building
But somewhere in the infinite
There's a version where we fit
Where I saw you first, not last
Where our future wasn't past
Chorus - Emotional but still minimal
Piano fuller but still sparse
Vocal: powerful in its quietness
In another life
I pick you first
Don't waste the time
Don't make it hurt
In another life
I'm not so late
I recognize
You're worth the wait
Post-Chorus
Just breath and pad - creating space
(Whispered, layered)
First... not last...
First... not last...
Verse 2
Adding subtle strings - barely there
Vocal more present but still intimate
I think about the parallel
Where I didn't build this shell
Where I saw you standing there
And actually stopped to care
Not distracted, not afraid
Not committed to mistakes I'd made
Just open, just awake
Just in time, not too late
Pre-Chorus - Slightly fuller
All minimal elements converging
Emotion building through restraint
Somewhere there's a universe
Where I chose better, not worse
Where the timing didn't fail
Where we're not this cautionary tale
Chorus - More emotional, still restrained
Strings joining piano - gentle
Vocal showing cracks but controlled
In another life
I pick you first
Don't doubt, don't think
Just know your worth
In another life
I'm braver, clear
I don't hesitate
When you appear
Bridge - Acceptance
Everything strips to voice and single note
Most vulnerable moment
(Spoken-sung, barely above whisper)
Maybe that's the lesson here
In this life where it's too late
That loving you taught me to see
What I'd choose in better fate
Pause - complete silence - 3 seconds
So if there's cosmic do-overs
If souls really meet again
I'll find you in the first moment
Not the last, my friend
Final Chorus - Quiet devastation
Minimal but emotionally maximum
Vocal cracking, genuine emotion
In another life
I pick you first
See you clearly
Know what you're worth
In another life
I don't waste time
I choose you faster
You'd be mine
Outro - Hopeful ambiguity
Piano returning to single notes
Pad creating cosmic space
Suggesting multiverse possibility
(Whispered, like prayer)
Maybe in the next one
Maybe in the next...
I'll be smarter
I'll choose better
I'll pick you...
First
Final piano note - sustained
Silence with natural reverb
Suggesting: or maybe this life isn't over yet?
