[Intro – filtered pads, distant atmosphere] Still on the ground Still nowhere yet Ooh Not yet gone [Verse 1] Window seat, quarter to twelve Rain running down the glass You smiled when the captain said “Looks like we'll be here a while” One small joke, one sideways glance Nothing either of us had planned While everybody watched the time We started talking like old friends [Pre-Chorus] We should be somewhere in the sky Instead you're sitting by my side Funny what you tell a stranger When you're not yet gone [Chorus] We're not yet gone Not yet gone Still on the ground with the engines on One more hour One more night Maybe this delay got something right We're not yet gone Not yet gone Don't need to know where this could go Stay right here Before we fly We're not yet gone tonight [Post-Chorus / Drop] Not yet— Not yet gone Ooh-oh Not yet gone Engines on Lights down low We're still here Not yet gone [Verse 2] Your phone lit up, you let it fade Mine stayed face-down by my side You said you're going back to someone I said I'm leaving mine behind Then the seatbelt sign came on And suddenly our hour was gone Your hand found mine between the seats Just as the engines came alive [Pre-Chorus] No promises, no grand design Just your fingers touching mine Funny how the world can change Before you leave the ground [Chorus] We're not yet gone Not yet gone Now we're moving with the engines on Runway lights Rush behind Your hand is still holding mine We're not yet gone Not yet gone Don't need to know where this could go Stay right here While we're in flight We're not yet gone tonight [Bridge – stripped back] Morning underneath the wings Neither asks what happens next Maybe when those doors open We'll just be strangers again [Build] Wheels touch down Morning light Take your bag I take mine One road left One road right One goodbye Under airport lights [Final Chorus] We're almost gone Almost gone Walking where our roads divide You turn left I turn right Disappear into the morning light We're almost gone Almost gone I take three steps and something feels wrong I stop walking Turn around— And you're already looking back [Final Drop] Not yet— Not yet gone Oh-oh Not yet gone You looked back I looked back Maybe we're Not yet gone [Outro – intimate female vocal] No words Just one smile And one step Back your way Not yet gone... Not yet gone... [Long atmospheric fade-out – shimmering garage chords, warm pads, distant vocal chops and deep sub bass gradually dissolve; 2-step beat slowly loses elements] [Continue fading naturally for 15–20 seconds – no hard stop, no abrupt cutoff]
