[spoken] (Maybe the old gods are dead...) [brief instrumental intro] [Verse 1 – soft, close-mic] Maybe the old gods are dead Maybe they watch from above Maybe there’s no one who cares about anything we’ve ever said Maybe there’s a chance to be better Maybe I don’t have to worry about you anymore Maybe it’s just a big coincidence that we both came back here [Chorus – first lift] What if we just let the world keep spinning? What if the life that we’re living’s the best one we’re ever gonna get? What if we could just let go of the past? What if we can stop living in the future? What if there’s a little bit of peace for us somewhere? [Instrumental Bloom: Guitars open to eighth-note delays; add swells; kick on 1 & 3; ride bell in last 2 bars.] [Verse 2 – rebuild, then rise] Maybe there’s something inside me Maybe it’s waiting to bloom Maybe it’s possible for a person to grow out of the shell they made Maybe I’m gonna be different Maybe I’ll get on a plane and be free of this pain forever Maybe you’re gonna be different Maybe you’ll get on a plane and be free of this pain forever [Chorus – big crest] What if we just let the world keep spinning? What if the life that we’re living’s the best one we’re ever gonna get? What if we could just let go of the past? What if we can stop living in the future? What if there’s a little bit of peace for us somewhere? [Final Lift / Outro.]
