[Intro]
[fingerpicked acoustic guitar, melodic cello]

[Verse 1]
[baritone male vocals]
I see the universe split with every choice
Every word we didn't say
Every door we didn't walk through
Somewhere I turned left instead of right
Somewhere you picked up when I called
Somewhere we didn't let the moment pass
And in those places we're still together
But I'm here in this one alone

[Chorus]
[drums enter, full band arrangement]
I can feel them all out there
All the versions who got us right
A billion different skies
Where we didn't say goodbye
In every universe but this one
Waking up on the same side
In every timeline but this one
You never had to hide
Somewhere I'm holding a version of you
Who didn't choose to run
In every universe but this one

[Instrumental Break]
[cello melody, acoustic guitar strumming]

[Verse 2]
[drums drop out to light percussion]
I think about the branching points sometimes
The exact second we diverged
Was it something that I said
Or something that I didn't
Was it fear or just bad timing
In some other world it went another way
In some other version of me sleeps sound at night
While I'm awake in the wrong one

[Chorus]
[full band, driving rhythm]
I can feel them all out there
All the versions living right
A billion different mornings
Where you didn't say goodnight
In every universe but this one
Waking up on the same side
In every timeline but this one
You never had to hide
Somewhere I'm holding a version of you
Who didn't choose to run
In every universe but this one

[Bridge]
[atmospheric guitar swells, sustained cello]
And maybe that's the cruelest part
Everything aligned we should have worked
Somewhere in the quantum noise
The dice rolled wrong and I got the losing hand
The one universe out of billions where we fell apart
So I look up at the stars now
And I wonder if they're looking back
All those other versions of us who got it right
And I'm happy for them I swear I am
But God I wish I was them

[Chorus]
[maximum intensity, layered vocals]
In every universe but this one
We're growing old on the same side
In every timeline but this one
Love didn't have to die
Somewhere I'm holding a version of you
Who chose not to run
In every universe, every goddamn universe but this one

[Outro]
[instrumentation fades to acoustic guitar and cello]
Somewhere we're happy
Somewhere we're whole
Somewhere we got lucky
Just not here
Not in this one
[final acoustic guitar chord]
