[Key: D Major] [BPM: 118] [Intro] [Clean electric guitar, chiming arpeggios, soft acoustic guitar] [Low, intimate vocal] I spent my youth waiting For the part where it got good I thought somebody older Would explain the way I should I learned to keep my head down When the ceiling started caving Got pretty good at calling Barely breathing "being patient" [Verse 2] [Acoustic guitar widens, restrained drums enter] I've watched some years disappear Into calendars and bills I've made a home from hand-me-downs And malnourished little wills [Pre-Chorus] [Strings begin to rise, drums slowly building] [Voice starts restrained, opening on the final line] I've spent years expecting The worst to come around I got used to disappointment Like it was solid ground [Chorus] [Full band enters, soaring guitars, orchestral strings] [Open, emotional vocal] Tonight could change everything Not because I'm finally fixed Not because I found the answer Or discovered what I missed Tonight could be the doorway I was too afraid to see The world is still enormous And it hasn't finished with me [Bridge] [Drop to piano and strings, intimate vocal] [Gradual crescendo] I don't need a miracle I don't need a brand new life I just need one honest moment Where being here feels right And if tomorrow disappoints me Well, tomorrow gets its turn I've spent too many years assuming Every bridge is meant to burn [Instrumental Break] [Orchestral swell, melodic lead guitar, drums building toward final chorus] [Final Chorus] [Huge full-band arrangement, layered guitars, soaring strings] [Passionate vocal, slightly rougher] Tonight could change everything Even if I change real slow Even if I wake tomorrow Still carrying what I know Tonight could be the doorway And I might finally walk through I spent my life expecting nothing Now I'm curious what life might do [Outro] [Band falls away to acoustic guitar and strings]
