[Intro — Shimmering Guitar/Synth]
[Instrumental hook, 8 bars]
[Verse 1 — Soft Vocals]
Twenty-five, but I still feel seventeen,
Watching all the years disappear behind me.
Pictures on the wall, people growing old,
Every little memory worth more than gold.
I remember when forever felt so far,
Now I’m making wishes underneath the stars.
Everybody’s changing, nothing stays the same,
But I still hear their voices when somebody says my name.
[Pre-Chorus — Building]
And I don’t wanna waste another night,
Thinking ‘bout the things I can’t rewind.
If tomorrow comes and everything has changed,
Promise me we’ll still feel the same.
[Chorus — Soaring Vocals]
So hold me before tomorrow,
Before the daylight takes us home.
We’ve got a lifetime left to follow,
But I don’t wanna watch it go.
If every road leads somewhere new,
I wanna walk them all with you.
When everything we know is gone,
Be the place where I belong.
[Post-Chorus — Instrumental]
[8 bars: shimmering delay guitar and pulsing synth melody, no vocals]
[Verse 2 — Emotional]
I see my parents getting older every year,
Try to hide the thought of losing what is here.
Got a thousand things I wish I would’ve said,
Conversations playing circles in my head.
And then you smile and suddenly I’m fine,
For a little while I forget about the time.
Maybe love is learning how to stay,
Even when the world keeps pulling us away.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t wanna waste another night,
Trying to hold the hands of time.
If tomorrow comes and everything has changed,
Promise me we’ll find our way.
[Chorus]
So hold me before tomorrow,
Before the daylight takes us home.
We’ve got a lifetime left to follow,
But I don’t wanna watch it go.
If every road leads somewhere new,
I wanna walk them all with you.
When everything we know is gone,
Be the place where I belong.
[Post-Chorus — Instrumental]
[8 bars: signature guitar/synth hook]
[Bridge — Piano and Guitar]
Maybe time was never ours to keep,
Maybe all we have is what we see.
I can’t stop the years from moving on,
But I can love you while they’re gone.
[Final Chorus — Full Band]
So hold me before tomorrow,
Before another year has flown.
If I can’t keep the world from changing,
At least I won’t face it alone.
If every road leads somewhere new,
I wanna walk them all with you.
And when the stars forget to shine,
I’ll still be grateful you were mine.
