Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I made my way into the concert tonight,
A place where we first met under the stage lights.
Ordered a drink, memories flooding my mind,
Didn't expect the twist that time would unwind.
[Verse 2]
There she was, by the VIP section,
Lost in a moment, deep in reflection.
Her hair had changed, but her smile was the same,
A thousand melodies echoed her name.
[Chorus]
We caught up on years, sharing stories untold,
About the paths we chose and dreams we sold.
She climbed corporate ladders, I toured the open road,
We were different worlds, but once shared a soul.
[Verse 3]
She spoke of boardrooms, deals she'd close,
I told her about the gigs, the highs and lows.
She laughed at my tales, I smiled at her success,
In that moment, I saw why we didn't progress.
[Chorus]
We caught up on years, sharing stories untold,
About the paths we chose and dreams we sold.
She climbed corporate ladders, I toured the open road,
We were different worlds, but once shared a soul.
[Bridge]
As we parted ways, there was no regret,
Just a fond goodbye and a mutual respect.
We were chapters in a book, meant to diverge,
Understanding now, why our hearts did not merge.
[Chorus]
We caught up on years, sharing stories untold,
About the paths we chose and dreams that we sold.
She climbed the corporate ladders, I toured the open road,
We lived in different worlds, but once shared a soul.
[Outro]
I walked out of the concert that night,
Grateful for the past, and the life I live right.
We were different, but our memories remain,
In the music of time, love finds its refrain.
