Female lead vocals — Dreamy indie-electronic / Cyberpunk synth-pop [Intro — Instrumental] [Heavy distorted synths, no vocals. Let the opening play.] [Verse 1 — Soft female vocals, almost conversational] You said we’d leave when we got older Find a place nobody knows Get a little house by the water Somewhere we could call our own I was laughing in the backseat You were driving way too fast Said we’d always have each other Didn’t know how long that’d last [Pre-Chorus — Gentle, building] And I know We don’t get to choose How the story goes But I know If I had to lose I’d still choose you [Chorus — Bright, bittersweet, memorable melody] If we don’t make it home tonight Would you meet me on the other side? Would you wait for me? Would you wait for me? If the stars all fall out of the sky And we never get to say goodbye Would you wait for me? Would you wait for me? ’Cause I would I would I would wait for you [Post-Chorus — Airy layered female harmonies] Ooh, ooh-ooh I’ll be there Ooh, ooh-ooh Anywhere Even if we’re gone Even if we’re gone [Instrumental Break — Full electronic melody, no lead vocals] [Verse 2 — Soft, nostalgic, slightly more emotional] I still remember your apartment And the clothes you used to wear How you’d always leave the TV on Like somebody else was there You would talk about tomorrow Like tomorrow was a place And I never thought I’d miss you While I’m looking at your face [Pre-Chorus — More emotional, stacked harmonies] And I know We don’t get to choose When it’s time to go But I know In another life I’d still be yours [Chorus — Full vocals, soaring harmonies] If we don’t make it home tonight Would you meet me on the other side? Would you wait for me? Would you wait for me? If the stars all fall out of the sky And we never get to say goodbye Would you wait for me? Would you wait for me? ’Cause I would I would I would wait for you [Bridge — Instruments pull back, fragile vocals] We could’ve had a little garden We could’ve painted all the walls You could’ve complained about the neighbors I could’ve laughed about it all We could’ve made it to December We could’ve watched the summer end I would’ve loved you getting older I would’ve loved you getting older… [Brief silence] But we were never gonna get there [Final Chorus — Starts nearly a cappella, then full emotional release] If we don’t make it home tonight Would you meet me on the other side? Would you wait for me? Would you wait for me? If the stars all fall out of the sky And we never get to say goodbye Would you wait for me? Would you wait for me? ’Cause I would I would I would wait for you [Outro — Distorted synths return, vocals fading] We could’ve had forever We could’ve had a life We could’ve had forever… Just not tonight. [Instrumental Outro — Let the original distorted synth melody finish alone]
