[Verse 1: Smooth, sultry delivery with a pulsing bassline] Baby, you’re a spark in the dark, ignitin’ my soul, Got me trippin’ on your rhythm, losin’ all control. Your eyes, they pull me closer, like a magnet’s call, Whisperin’ sweet secrets in the shadows of the hall. (Could-a been us, ridin’ that wave) Skin like velvet, movin’ in the moonlight’s haze, Heart’s racin’ fast, caught in your maze, Every step you take got me in a daze. [Pre-Chorus: Tempo builds, layered harmonies] Should-a held you tighter when the nights got cold, Would-a gave you diamonds, traded all my gold. Could-a been forever, but we let it slip, Now I’m chasin’ echoes of your fingertips. (Oh, oh, oh, could-a, would-a, should-a) [Chorus: Anthemic, with a driving beat and sultry ad-libs] Could-a been you and me, burnin’ up the night, Would-a set the world on fire, blazin’ out of sight. Should-a never let you go, now I’m payin’ the price, Could-a, would-a, should-a, girl, you were my vice. (Could-a, would-a, should-a, oh-oh) Could-a, would-a, should-a, now I’m missin’ your light. [Verse 2: Slower, more introspective, with a smoky vocal tone] Late nights, replayin’ every word you said, Your silhouette’s still dancin’ in my empty bed. Taste of your kiss, still lingers on my lips, Like a shot of whiskey, burnin’ with each sip. (Would-a stayed forever, never let you go) I see you in the city, movin’ with that glow, Every curve, every smile, cuttin’ like a knife, Should-a fought harder for you, for that spark of life. [Pre-Chorus: Rising intensity, with a touch of desperation] Should-a held you tighter when the nights got cold, Would-a gave you diamonds, traded all my gold. Could-a been forever, but we let it slip, Now I’m chasin’ echoes of your fingertips. (Oh, oh, oh, could-a, would-a, should-a) [Chorus: Bigger, bolder, with layered backing vocals] Could-a been you and me, burnin’ up the night, Would-a set the world on fire, blazin’ out of sight. Should-a never let you go, now I’m payin’ the price, Could-a, would-a, should-a, girl, you were my vice. (Could-a, would-a, should-a, oh-oh) Could-a, would-a, should-a, now I’m missin’ your light. [Bridge: Minimal instrumentation, raw vocal emotion] Every “what if” cuts deeper than a blade, Every memory of you refuses to fade. I’m haunted by the chances that I didn’t take, Now I’m drownin’ in the waves of my mistakes. (Should-a, should-a, oh, why didn’t I?) Your touch was my religion, my reason to fly, Now I’m grounded, wishin’ I could turn back time. [Chorus: Explosive, full instrumentation, passionate delivery] Could-a been you and me, burnin’ up the night, Would-a set the world on fire, blazin’ out of sight. Should-a never let you go, now I’m payin’ the price, Could-a, would-a, should-a, girl, you were my vice. (Could-a, would-a, should-a, oh-oh) Could-a, would-a, should-a, now I’m missin’ your light. [Outro: Fading beat, soft vocal runs] (Could-a, would-a, should-a, oh-oh) Baby, you’re the dream I’ll never let go, Could-a, would-a, should-a, now I’ll never know. (Oh-oh, oh-oh, could-a, would-a, should-a) [Fades out with a lingering piano melody and soft hums]
