MAYBE THIS TIME

[Intro – soft piano]

(male vocal – conversational singing)

So yeah…
Funny how life works sometimes

One minute someone’s just a memory
Then suddenly… they’re right by your side

⸻

[Verse 1 – minimal beat only]

(single kick pulse in background)

(male vocal – talk-sing style)

Ten years went by
Different lives
You’ve got a daughter now
And me too… funny how life aligned

And somehow we’re laughing
Like we never missed any time
Like the years between us
Were just yesterday

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – piano begins softly]

(male vocal – melodic)

Maybe time had its reasons
For letting us go

(soft band harmony)

Letting us go…

⸻

[Chorus – full melody, piano and soft strings]

(male vocal – hopeful tone)

Maybe this time
We don’t question what we feel

(band harmonies)

What we feel…

(male vocal)

Maybe this time
Something here could be real

(soft harmony)

Be real…

(male vocal)

Maybe we just met again
At the right time

⸻

[Verse 2 – drop back to minimal beat]

(single kick pulse again)

(male vocal – conversational singing)

It’s strange how the past
Can circle back around
When you’re not even looking
That’s when you’re standing there
Waiting to be found

And we’re sitting here talking
Like old friends do
Still so alike
Just a little more grown too

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – piano returns]

(male vocal)

Maybe we just needed distance
To see things clear

(soft harmony)

See things clear…

⸻

[Chorus – fuller instrumentation]

(male vocal – emotional tone)

Maybe this time
We don’t question what we feel

(band harmonies)

What we feel…

(male vocal)

Maybe this time
Something here could be real

(soft harmony)

Be real…

(male vocal)

Maybe we just met again
At the right time

⸻

[Bridge – very minimal again]

(soft piano and beat)

(male vocal – reflective)

And who knows where we’ll both be
This time next week

(soft harmony)

Next week…

(male vocal)

But tonight it feels simple
Just you and me

⸻

[Final Chorus – full band lift]

(male vocal – hopeful)

Maybe this time
We don’t overthink the signs

(band harmonies)

The signs…

(male vocal)

Maybe this time
We just see what we might find

⸻

[Outro – piano fading]

(male vocal – calm)

Maybe this time…
It might be right
