Between the Schoolyard and Eternity

Verse 1 We were sitting on that cold floor, backs against the wall, carved our names in worn-out wood like it would last it all. The world felt big but somehow small, somewhere in between, we had nothing – still it felt like everything we’d need. You said we’d stay here forever, no matter where life goes, but we were way too young to see how fast the moment flows. Innocence like summer air was drifting through our days, and every second next to you just slipped and drifted away. Pre-Chorus We believed this would never end, we were stronger than time itself. But life pulled us out of it into a world we never felt. Chorus Between the schoolyard and eternity, we learned what living really means. Between the laughter and the tears, there was a love that carried me. And I still feel you in every song, in every night that breaks so quietly – we were more than just a dream, we were everything… and I still miss you. Verse 2 First love written down in ink with shaky, trembling hands, caught somewhere between our fears and all those bigger plans. Your eyes held something I could never fully understand, but I kept it deep inside me like a heart in my hand. We were laughing way too loud just to hide the pain, burying our doubts inside our jokes and broken days. Loyalty was never words, just something that we knew, we were holding onto dreams… till time pulled me from you. Pre-Chorus We thought we’d never lose a thing that once felt unbreakable. But the distance grew so wide, and missing you became my truth. Chorus Between the schoolyard and eternity, we learned what living really means. Between the laughter and the tears, there was a love that carried me. And I still feel you in every song, in every night that breaks so quietly – we were more than just a dream, we were everything… and I still miss you. Bridge (very soft, piano only) Maybe it was just a moment in time, but it changed me more than I can say. I still carry you, piece by piece, through every step, through every day. And I still believe that something remains, that nothing we had is truly gone… that all of those feelings, all of that time are somewhere safe, still holding on. Final Chorus (big, emotional) Between the past and morning light, there’s still a part of you in me. And no matter where this road will lead, I carry you through everything. We were more than just a moment, more than youth, more than time – we were real, we were alive… between a dream and eternity.
