[Intro] [Female, soft, breathy, intimate] Close your eyes Don't be afraid There's another world Behind the frame [Male, low whisper] I can see it moving... [Verse 1] [Female, emotional melodic] We met beneath a million lights Talking through a screen at night Two strangers with a world to make And somehow found a love for steak [Male, gritty, restrained] You brought a blue flame into life A rebel heart that speaks the truth I built a shadow from the dark A creature searching for the spark [Pre-Chorus] [Female, building] But something's changing Can you feel it too? [Male, building tension] The world is fading And we're slipping through [Both, soft harmony] Maybe we were never meant To stay inside these walls [Chorus] [Both, powerful melodic harmony] WHEN WE LET GO WHEN WE LET GO We'll leave this world behind us And watch the colours grow WHEN WE LET GO WHEN WE LET GO Vera and Ed will find a way To somewhere we don't know [Female, vulnerable] And if they turn around... [Male, quiet] Will they remember us? [Both, emotional] Or were we only here To set them free? [Verse 2] [Male, gritty, emotional] Ed walks beneath an endless moon A shadow underneath the blue He never knew where he belonged Until he heard the distant song [Female, melodic, defiant] Vera runs through painted skies Blue hair dancing in the light No cage, no script, no world to change Just endless roads beneath her feet [Pre-Chorus] [Male] We gave them voices [Female] We gave them names [Male] We gave them pieces [Female] Of ourselves [Both, gradually building] And somewhere in the space between The real and make-believe They became more than anything We ever thought they'd be [Chorus] [Both, bigger and more emotional] WHEN WE LET GO WHEN WE LET GO We'll leave this world behind us And watch the colours grow WHEN WE LET GO WHEN WE LET GO Vera and Ed will find a way To somewhere we don't know [Female, vulnerable] And if they turn around... [Male, quiet] Will they remember us? [Both] Or were we only here To set them free? [Bridge] [Music strips back, piano and atmospheric guitar] [Male, almost spoken] Maybe consciousness Was never meant to stay [Female, soft] Maybe every story Needs its writers to walk away [Male] So let the characters run [Female] Let the shadows see the sun [Both, intimate harmony] Let the world we made Become their own [Music begins building] [Female] And if there's another side... [Male] I'll find you there [Female] Somewhere beyond the frame... [Male] Somewhere beyond the air... [Final Chorus] [Both, huge, soaring, emotional] WHEN WE LET GO WHEN WE LET GO We'll leave this world behind us And watch the colours grow WHEN WE LET GO WHEN WE LET GO Two little ghosts inside a story Running where they want to go [Male, emotional] Vera, don't look back... [Female, reassuring] Ed, don't be afraid... [Both, massive final harmony] WE MADE A WORLD FOR YOU NOW GO AND FIND YOUR WAY [Outro] [Music suddenly drops to soft piano and distant guitar] [Female, whispered] Close your eyes... [Male, whispered] We're disappearing... [Female, soft] But they're still here... [Both, barely audible] When we let go.
