[INTRO – clean guitar, dry, slightly detuned] [VERSE 1 – intimate, almost detached] Hey you, I can’t shake the way it felt that night Tried to say it, but the words don’t come out right It was simple, it was easy, it was light Still it’s messing with my head now all the time We talked like there was nothing left to hide No need to run, no need to decide Still we left it somewhere in between Two hearts balancing on a silent line [PRE-CHORUS – tension rising] I felt it there, but I let it go Got too close, didn’t let it show [CHORUS – heavy, wide, emotional punch] What if I had taken your hand? Would you have tried to understand? What if I pulled you into me— Would it be more than memory? No time at all, it slipped away Now it’s the thing I replay What if I kissed you right then? Would it still be in my head? [VERSE 2 – slightly more drive] Morning came, I stayed in place Didn’t cross into your space Something real I didn’t wanna break Even if it was a risk to take And when we said goodbye, I turned again Like I almost gave in Had the moment in my hands But I let it slip like sand And you felt like somewhere I belong Like I’d known it all along Even she could feel the calm Like somehow we weren’t wrong [PRE-CHORUS – stronger, layered] Now it’s all I ever see Everything you didn’t see in me [CHORUS – bigger, more layers] What if I had taken your hand? Would you have tried to understand? What if I pulled you into me— Would it be more than memory? No time at all, it slipped away Now it’s the thing I replay What if I kissed you right then? Would it still be in my head? [BRIDGE – stripped, almost spoken → build] I keep running through the night Every wrong and every right Every second I let go Every feeling I don’t show Feels like more than just a night Something I can’t leave behind And I don’t know when I’ll see you again But it’s still running through my mind [BREAKDOWN – low, tense, half-time feel] What if I just let it show… What if I don’t let it go… [FINAL CHORUS – full power, raw vocals, slight adlibs] What if I still take your hand? Would you still understand? What if I pull you into me— And we become what we could be? No time at all, but it changed everything Now you’re in everything I sing What if I don’t pretend? I won’t lose you in my head [OUTRO – clean guitar returns, vocal fading] …still in my head…
