🎶 VERSE 1 (12 Bars – Smooth, Conversational Flow) Strangers after decades, that’s a strange melody Still I cherish you, I know you still care for me The world is wide, but so are we Tryna stay strong, enjoy the company Who got your back when it all collapse? We just artifacts, still attached to the past And we matter in this time, don’t forget that line You got your trust, and I still got mine There’s a whole galaxy, somewhere we can breathe Find a little peace in between what we see Despite the space, yeah, the vacancy I still rewind you—you still part of me ⸻ Hook Memories aren’t as clear as they once were, Not what I thought they’d be Our bond was strong, now it’s torn at the seams Yeah, it’s torn at the seams (High Harmony – airy, emotional) Clear as they once were… Thought they’d be… Torn at the seams… (Low Harmony – warm, grounding) (They once were…) (Thought they’d be…) (Torn at the seams…) (Lead) Memories aren’t as clear as they once were, Fadin’ slowly from me Our bond was strong, now it’s torn at the seams Still mean everything to me (All stack on last line) Still mean everything to me… ⸻ 🎶 VERSE 2 (12 Bars – Slightly More Emotional Lift) Time don’t heal if you never speak Silence loud when it cuts that deep We were fire once, now we barely spark Still I feel your light in the dark Different roads, yeah we chose our fate But the love don’t die, it just shifts its shape We ain’t lost, just out of frame Still say your name—it don’t feel the same If I called your phone, would you let it ring? Or pick up like nothing ever changed between? Through the distance, through everything You still echo in my frequency ⸻ 🎶 BRIDGE (2-Part → 3-Part Build) (Start minimal – Lead + soft high) Maybe we just needed space to grow Maybe we just lost what we used to know But if there’s a chance, don’t let it go Don’t let it go… (Add low harmony here) Even if we never find our way I’ll still send you love from miles away Through every night and every day Yeah, I’ll still… I’ll still… (Final line – FULL 3-part swell) I’ll still… love you the same… ⸻ 🎶 HOOK (Ride Out – Layered & Repetitive) (Lead) Memories aren’t as clear as they once were… (High) (Not what I thought they’d be…) (Low) (They once were…) (Lead) Our bond was strong, now it’s torn at the seams… (All) (Torn at the seams…) ⸻ (Final Pass – Full Choir Feel) Memories aren’t as clear as they once were… (Fadin’ slowly from me…) Our bond was strong, now it’s torn at the seams… (All stack – resolve line) Still mean everything to me…
