[Intro – spoken/sung] Daniel: Well… here we are. Waiting. Like always. Lauren (smiles): At least we’re consistent — some things never change. [Verse 1 – Daniel] You know, it’s kind of funny, standing here again, I thought when I got older, things would shift, my friend. But I’m still in the background, still playing it safe, Still the guy who fills the gap, who fades into space. [Verse 2 – Lauren] Hey, don’t you say that, you shine more than you see, You’ve got more spark than half this cast could ever dream to be. I remember the fearless kid you used to show, Even that breakdance phase — (laughs) — you gave it a go! [Verse 3 – Daniel] That wasn’t fearless — that was dumb, Nearly tore my shoulder, trying to look fun. Lauren (tenderly): Stupid, maybe, but your heart was true, You cared then… you still do. [Bridge – both] (Soft, reflective harmonies) Lauren: Dreams take you places, then bring you back home, Daniel: I thought you’d stay in London, never alone. Lauren: I thought so too, but the dream went astray, Both: Sometimes the brightest lights fade away. [Verse 4 – Daniel] Doesn’t mean you failed — no, not to me, You’re still the girl I thought you’d be. Lauren (smiles softly): And you — you’re still that boy I knew, Blending in, but shining through. [Outro – overlapping lines] Lauren: Right… back to it then. Daniel: Yeah… back to it. Both (gently, as music fades): Some things never change… But maybe… someday… they will.
