warm rich baritone, calm confident delivery, laid-back natural swing like Common] [Verse 1] [intimate and reflective, start low and warm] I guess I gotta love from a distance, keep it tucked, 'Cause you already a Mrs., and I don’t disrupt. But the look in your eyes say something outta place, Like a story still echoing you ain’t tryna face. You say it ain’t the same as the way it began, But you hold it together, play the role that you can. Even if the feeling faded, I respect where you stand, I won’t pull you into visions that you ain’t ever planned. But if you ever decide that you need a new pace, You can hit me up, we can move with some space. No rush in the rhythm, let it breathe, let it grow, If it’s meant, I’ll be there just to show what I know. [Hook] [steady mantra-like, warm and knowing emphasis] In my eyes, I see you and I, clear view, But somebody else already standin’ with you. So I don’t cross lines, I just fall back in time, It ain’t ours right now, I respect that line. But maybe one day when the timing align, We could give it a try, let it grow, let it climb… Maybe in another life, maybe in another time. [Verse 2] [conscious rap verse, laid back flow, confidence, hip hop boom bap delivery] [slightly more intensity, grounded pride with subtle build, add boom bap drum] I often think about you when I’m driving Wishin on star that they start aligning If it was me instead him then it might be A life to live for but it ain’t the timing [intensity enters] Man i wish i had a Time Machine Set the time for you and me A future life and all in between Unfortunately that can not be I found you to late i want be respectful Cuz he had a head start before i met you And mama taught me right not to cross the line But you know where to find me if you change your mind Cuz the man you have gave it a try But a real man’s hard to find [Hook] [steady mantra-like, warm and knowing emphasis] In my eyes, I see you and I, clear view, But somebody else already standin’ with you. So I don’t cross lines, I just fall back in time, It ain’t ours right now, I respect that line. But maybe one day when the timing align, We could give it a try, let it grow, let it climb… Maybe in another life, maybe in another time. [Bridge] [soft, reflective, slightly airy delivery] Maybe in another life… How different it would be… If you chose me… (ooh… soft echoes, layered under) [Final Hook] [full but controlled emotion, warm resolve] In my eyes, I see you and I, still true, But the moment we in ain’t designed for two. So I let it breathe, let it be what it is, Keep respect in the space where your heart still lives. But if roads ever shift and the stars realign, We could give it a try, let it grow over time… Maybe in another life, maybe in another time.
