[Verse 1 – Voice A (low, tender, reflective)] We were sparks in the summer, too young to know Best friends tangled in something more Tried to fit love in a picture frame But timing was cruel and the world rearranged [Verse 1 – Voice B (gentle, higher harmony)] I walked my road, and you walked yours Chasing dreams we both ignored But your laugh still lingers in my chest Like a song I never laid to rest [Chorus – Both together (call & response, then harmony)] [A:] And here we are… older now [B:] Still the same hearts… just weathered down [Both (harmony):] I see you and it’s all so clear Love never left, it just waited here We were stars that lost their sound But maybe we’re brighter the second time around [Verse 2 – Voice B leads, Voice A answers softly] [B:] You wear a smile I hadn’t seen Since the nights we dreamed at seventeen [A (echo):] Seventeen… [B:] I felt the pull, like gravity Like fate had finally set us free [Pre-Chorus – Voice A leads, Voice B joins halfway] [A:] All the words we didn’t say Hung like ghosts that wouldn’t fade [B (harmony):] But when you touched my hand again I knew this love could rise again [Chorus – Both, full harmony] Here we are, older now Still the same hearts, just weathered down I see you and it’s all so clear Love never left, it just waited here We were stars that lost their sound But maybe we’re brighter the second time around [Bridge – Alternating lines, building into duet] [A:] We’ve loved, we’ve lost, we’ve grown apart [B:] But I never let you leave my heart [A:] Some stories bend, they never break [Both (harmony, swelling):] They’re rewritten for love’s sake [Final Chorus – Duet, emotional lift] [Both (in harmony, big strings):] So here we are, standing close Not chasing time, just letting go Of what we were, for what we’ve found Love that’s stronger the second time around [Outro – Soft acoustic, both voices fading together] The second time around… The second time around...
