Timeless

[Intro] *(Acoustic guitar arpeggio in G major, transitioning into a soft piano melody with chords G – Em – C – D)* [Verse 1] We were seventeen, under September skies, Your laugh cut through the noise, a spark in my dull life. You wore that faded jacket, I tripped on my own shoes, And time just stopped when your eyes met mine in the room. [Pre-Chorus] Now I’m tracing the lines of every "what if" and "maybe," A secret in my chest, like a song I can’t replay. You handed me a mix tape, scribbled "Forever, Baby," And I knew right then I’d never be the same. [Chorus] Oh, it’s *timeless*, the way you still haunt this heart, Like a ghost in the hallways where our memories start. Every scar, every crack, you’re the gold in the break, And I’m back in that moment—every breath that we take. We were young, we were bold, we were freezing in flame, Now I’m stuck in the echo of the love that you named. [Verse 2] You taught me how to dance there, in the glow of streetlights, Our shadows kissed the pavement, tangled clumsy and bright. We swore we’d never fade, just two stars in a rush, But the world spun too fast, and the future came untouched. [Pre-Chorus] Now I’m stuck at the edge of every joke you whispered low, A firefly in amber, trapped in summer’s afterglow. You left your sweater hanging on the edge of my bed, And I still hear your voice in the words I never said. [Chorus] Oh, it’s *timeless*, the way you still haunt this heart, Like a ghost in the hallways where our memories start. Every scar, every crack, you’re the gold in the break, And I’m back in that moment—every breath that we take. We were young, we were bold, we were freezing in flame, Now I’m stuck in the echo of the love that you named. [Bridge] *(Piano ascends, key change to C major, chords C – Am – F – G)* Do you ever drive past the diner where we used to meet? Order two bitter coffees and taste the bittersweet? I’d rewrite every ending just to sing you this line: "Your hand in mine was infinite, a love out of time." [Final Chorus] Oh, it’s *timeless*, the way you still haunt this heart, Like a ghost in the hallways where our memories start. Every scar, every crack, you’re the gold in the break, And I’m back in that moment—every breath that we take. We were young, we were bold, we were freezing in flame, Now I’m stuck in the echo of the love that you named. [Outro] *(Acoustic guitar fades with a descending G – Em – C – D progression, piano lingering on a soft G major chord)*
