Forever Maybe

Prelude - Vocal group harmonies

Shadowed arches bow above me

Echoes trembling in still air

Faded letters, parchment secrets

Pages turned we can’t repair

Threads unravelled from a distance

Chords of longing, cold and bright

Restless yearning, wordless questions

Gather softly toward the night

Verse 1

Dark corners of my bedroom

Where your laughter used to linger

Photographs—out of focus, frayed edges

I reach for reason

But gone

Is the answer

A single word, another scar, a silence

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I could turn and try

Maybe I could call it fate

Maybe I could come back—if I dared

But the locks have changed

The world rearranged

Chorus

I want to come back, to the moment before

Before the ash fell, before I closed the door

Arms open, memories calling

But my shadow won’t cross,

No, my shadow won’t cross that line anymore

Verse 2

Small hopes flicker, flicker then fail me

Your name on my tongue, a secret spine

I write it on paper—tear it apart

Too much between, too many nights, too far

Pre-Chorus

Maybe you would turn around

Maybe I would see you there

Maybe we could fold the years into minutes

Time betrays, silence stays

Always one breath late

Chorus

I want to come back, to the moment before

Before the snow fell, before hearts became worn

Hands reaching, voices unraveling

But my shadow won’t cross,

No, my shadow won’t cross that line anymore

[Bridge] (Duet: two voices interwoven, rising)

If I call, if you answer

If I fall, if you catch me

If I run, if you wait

But the sun sets slow

Still, I let you go

Still, I let you go

Guitar Solo

[Chorus] (Vocal Group)

We want to come back, to the world we knew

Before the silence grew, before distance grew

Eyes meeting, soft forgiveness,

But our shadows won’t cross,

No, our shadows won’t cross that line anymore

Outro

Maybe I could, maybe I would, maybe I can’t

Return

To you
