[Instrumental Intro — 40s intimate guitar] [Verse 1] We tell the story different now Same room, same couch, same vows You say we burned out slow and clean I swear it flickered in between You remember steady hands I remember shifting sands Two timelines running side by side Both convinced they’re justified [Chorus] Different versions of the same old night Yours in shadow, mine in light We pass them back and forth like proof Two witnesses beneath one roof [Instrumental Break — guitar] [Verse 2] You say we faded soft and fair No sharp edges anywhere I trace the cracks along the years Quiet sentences we never hear Every glance a coded phrase Every silence filled with haze We edit what we can’t defend And call it truth in the end [Chorus] Different versions of the same old night You hold yours close, I hold mine tight We line them up but they won’t align Two private cuts of borrowed time [Bridge] Maybe both are partly true Memory bends to comfort you And me the same in smaller ways We shape the past to help us stay [Final Chorus] Different versions, neither wrong Just separate cuts of one long song We sit inside what we recall And learn to live with it all [Instrumental Outro — reflective guitar fade]
