[Intro — Solo Piano, Intimate and Exposed, No Vocals] [Instrumental — Soft piano melody, rubato, 8 bars, no drums] [Verse 1] I met you in a city I was leaving You were standing where the light was bleeding Through the window of a coffee shop at dawn I knew right then I wouldn't make my flight home We had four days and we spent them like forever Talking 'til the sky turned pink together You said stay, I said I can't, you said why And neither of us had an answer we could justify [Pre-Chorus] I still hear your laugh inside the rain I still feel your hand against my face I still wonder what we could have been If the world had given us a different place [Chorus] We were everything for a moment Two hearts beating in the same explosion We were everything, then we were nothing A fire that burned too bright to keep going We were everything for a moment And I'd trade a lifetime just to hold it [Instrumental Interlude — No Vocals] [Violin Solo — Soaring and emotive, wide vibrato and cinematic swells, exposed over shimmering synth pads and a soft pulse, the violin "sings" the ache the vocal cannot hold, 16 bars, no drums, no singing, humming, or vocalizations] [Verse 2] I went back to that city in November Found the coffee shop, but I don't remember If the table where you sat was on the left or right I just know I sat there crying half the night I've loved a few since then, I've tried to mean it But there's a room inside my chest you've always rented And every time I think I've finally closed the door I find your handwriting on the wall once more [Pre-Chorus] I still hear your laugh inside the rain I still feel your hand against my face I still wonder what we could have been If the world had given us a different place [Chorus] We were everything for a moment Two hearts beating in the same explosion We were everything, then we were nothing A fire that burned too bright to keep going We were everything for a moment And I'd trade a lifetime just to hold it [Instrumental Interlude — No Vocals] [Lead Electric Guitar Solo — Crying, vocal-like tone, expressive string bends and long sustained notes, answering the chorus with its own melodic line, escalating bends and vibrato, then falling into quiet resignation, 12 bars, no vocals of any kind] [Bridge — Solo Piano and Voice, No Drums] Maybe love isn't meant to last Maybe it's just meant to change you Maybe I was supposed to lose you So I'd know what I was capable of [Final Chorus — Full Arrangement, Soaring, Cinematic Build] We were everything for a moment Two hearts beating in the same explosion We were everything, then we were nothing A fire that burned too bright to keep going We were everything for a moment We were everything for a moment And I'd trade a lifetime just to hold it I'd trade a lifetime just to hold it [Outro — Solo Piano, Soft and Resolving, No Vocals] [Instrumental — Piano returns with a quiet reprise of the intro melody, joined by a faint distant violin line, slow fade to silence]
