[Intro, Ambient Guitar Swells] Light leaks on the floor Like we’ve been here before But we never say it We just let the silence name it [Verse 1] Sunflowers bending at the edge of the day Like they’re holding out hope That something might stay You looked at the sky like a question in bloom Like your heart asked the stars "Can you make me a room?" [Pre-Chorus] And the moment breathes — like the hush before a truth And I’m just a shoulder away from you [Chorus] This is the frame before the photo’s born The breath we take before the storm The backseat love with no name yet Head on shoulder, cigarettes Your hand in mine, no promises made But everything loud in the quiet we made This is what soft beginnings do They remind me of you [Verse 2] Two boys lit by a memory’s kiss Lo-fi static, nothing amiss The game hums low, the dusk feels kind We didn’t speak much, but I heard your mind And that mirror caught a piece of grace Of how your eyes never looked away [Pre-Chorus] It felt like praying — just not to be alone I think we knew it, even then, unknown [Chorus] This is the frame before the photo’s born The breath we take before the storm The backseat love with no name yet Head on shoulder, cigarettes Your hand in mine, no promises made But everything loud in the quiet we made This is what soft beginnings do They remind me of you [Bridge, Sparse Piano + Vocal Layering] Hemingway in your mouth Smoke tracing poems south You read me lines you never meant to And I loved the ones that almost broke you Her eyes closed, the ceiling cracked The kind of love that doesn’t ask For forever — just now And it was enough somehow [Final Chorus, Full Instrumentation Lush] This is the frame before the photo’s born The breath we take before the storm The sheets still warm with what we meant Our youth in the air, like a rented scent Your voice in the room, soft and blue Like the kind of love that’s always true This is what soft beginnings do They remind me of you [Outro, Fading Echo + Ambient Loop] Light leaks… light stays… Even after you look away
