Temporary

[Intro] [Acoustic guitar, room ambience, light percussion] [Verse 1] [Plain acoustic guitar, dry drums enter gradually] Same table, different stories Five minutes late, nobody cared Someone brought up leaving town Someone said they'd never leave here Long weeks, cheap meals after midnight Bad jokes we somehow understood We thought the routine would keep us Like routines always could [Pre-Chorus] [Acoustic guitar opens, bass subtly enters] Then one day, somebody moved on No big scene, no last goodbye Just an empty seat beside us And another name gone from the Friday night [Chorus] [Full drums, acoustic + warm electric guitar] Maybe we're just temporary people Passing through each other's lives You were never meant to stay forever But you changed the way I see mine [EDM Drop] [Electric guitar becomes the main hook] [Pure punchy drums, deep bass, chopped vocal texture] [No lead vocal] [Verse 2] [Drop strips away; acoustic guitar returns] Then the group got smaller slowly New jobs, new streets, different plans Some moved on without a reason Some just stopped making the drive back Every now and then I see one In a picture from another year And I have to count the distance Between "every day" and "haven't talked in years" [Chorus] [More layered vocals, stronger drums] Maybe we're just temporary people Passing through each other's lives You were never meant to stay forever But you changed the way I see mine [EDM Drop] [Distorted electric guitar hook] [Driving drums + bass] [Short vocal chops answering the guitar] [Rap Verse] [Beat strips down; acoustic guitar loop + dry kick/snare] [Uneven flow — conversational opening, tighter standard bars, then stretched phrasing] Different shifts, different cities Different names filling up the screen One moved out, one changed careers One disappeared somewhere between "Let's catch up" turned into next month Next month turned into who knows Old numbers sitting in my contacts Like a list of places I don't go We had plans that sounded permanent Back when permanent was easy to say Now I see them in pieces— A birthday post, a random message, somebody asking how I've been lately No falling out, no final argument No reason I could point to Just life putting miles between us Till the people I saw every day became people I once knew [Pre-Chorus] [Electric guitar begins entering beneath acoustic] And maybe that's the part we miss The version of us in all of these When everyone was still around And tomorrow hadn't changed the crowd [Chorus] [Full arrangement] Maybe we're just temporary people Passing through each other's lives You were never meant to stay forever But you changed the way I see mine [Rap Bridge] [Beat returns with heavier drums + electric guitar pulse] [Uneven cadence, switching between clipped bars and longer conversational phrases] Maybe I was temporary too In somebody else's story A name they haven't mentioned But still remember when they're forty Maybe I was that coworker Who made a bad week easier That friend from one short season That nobody expected to keep forever And that's alright— We don't need another reunion Don't need to put the old days Back into a new room If all we left each other Was a reason to remember Then maybe that's enough For something never built to last forever [Final Chorus] [Biggest vocal layering] [Acoustic guitar remains underneath; electric guitars fully open] Maybe we're just temporary people Passing through each other's lives You were never meant to stay forever But you changed the way I see mine [Final EDM Drop] [Electric guitar is the dominant melodic hook] [Full drums, deep sub bass, wide synth layers] [Acoustic guitar remains subtly underneath] [Layered vocal chops and restrained background harmonies] Maybe we're just temporary people Passing through each other's lives You were never meant to stay forever But you changed the way I see mine [Outro] [Drop gradually strips back to acoustic guitar + natural drums] Different people Different years Same life moving forward And somehow We were there for each other When it mattered
