Title: Echoes of Us [Intro] (Soft piano, delicate strings, reverb) Lead (gentle): Echoes of us… (BG singers: “ooh” harmony) Echoes of us… (BG singers: “ooh” fade) [Verse 1] (Soft piano, swelling strings, light percussion) Lead (intimate): At the edge of forever, you and I, Moonlit stars burning in our eyes. Whispered vows, a breeze in the night, But we faltered, lost our fight. (BG singers: “ahh” on “fight”) [Pre-Chorus] (Piano swells, strings build, kick drum) Lead (rising): I held on, but the past slipped away, My anchor, but tides wouldn’t stay. Your voice, a ghost on the wind, (BG singers: “Ooh, could’ve been”) All we could’ve been. [Chorus] (Explosive drums, soaring strings, guitar) Lead (belted): CHASING THE ECHOES OF US! (BG: “Echoes!”) THROUGH FIRE, THROUGH DUST! (BG: “Fire, dust!”) Burned like fire, broken, bruised, Can’t let go of love I choose! (BG: “Choose!”) ECHOES OF US! (BG: “Echoes!”) WHEN I’VE HAD ENOUGH! (BG: “Enough!”) Scars won’t fade, song stays strong, Echoes of us, I’m HOLDING ON! (BG: “Holding on!”) [Verse 2] (Intense piano, strings, steady rhythm) Lead (gritty): My heartbeat in a world so cold, Fire at night I couldn’t hold. Danced on the edge to feel alive, Storm tore us, broke us inside. (BG: “ooh” on “inside”) [Pre-Chorus] (Dramatic strings, dark piano, synth) Lead (urgent): Gave everything, you let it slip, Holding love, now holding you. Each step, your shadow’s behind, (BG: “Ooh, chasing ghosts”) Chasing peace in the grind. [Chorus] (Full band, bigger energy, layered vocals) Lead (soaring): CHASING THE ECHOES OF US! (BG: “Echoes!”) THROUGH FIRE, THROUGH DUST! (BG: “Fire, dust!”) Burned like fire, broken, bruised, Can’t let go of love I choose! (BG: “Choose!”) ECHOES OF US! (BG: “Echoes!”) WHEN I’VE HAD ENOUGH! (BG: “Enough!”) Scars won’t fade, song stays strong, Echoes of us, I’m HOLDING ON! (BG: “Holding on!”) [Bridge] (Haunting piano, minimal strings) Lead (soft): Someday we’ll find what we lost, (BG: “ooh” hum) Let go of pain and its cost. (BG: “ooh” hum) Till I’m free, you call to me, (BG: “Keep calling me”) Echoes of you won’t leave. [Chorus] (Triumphant, full band, ad-libs) Lead (triumphant): CHASING THE ECHOES OF US! (BG: “Echoes!”) THROUGH FIRE, THROUGH DUST! (BG: “Fire, dust!”) Burned like fire, broken, bruised, Can’t let go of love I choose! (BG: “Choose!”) ECHOES OF US! (BG: “Echoes!”) WHEN I’VE HAD ENOUGH! (BG: “Enough!”) Scars won’t fade, song stays strong, Echoes of us, I’m HOLDING ON! (BG: “Holding on!”, ad-lib “Oh!”) [Outro] (Soft piano, strings, reverb) Lead (whispered): Echoes of us… (BG: “ooh” fade) I’ll hold on. (BG: “ooh” gone)
