Summer In Another Life
Composição: MaxArwen.(Verse 1)
I woke up with sand between my toes
And the salt of a sea that nobody knows
The sun was gold in a different way
And I swore I'd been there before today
There was a house with a wooden door
And a vine that climbed to the second floor
A table set for two, but only one chair
And the scent of jasmine filled the air
(Pre-chorus)
I could almost see your face
In the sunlight's warm embrace
But when I reached out to touch your hand
The vision slipped away like sand
(Chorus)
Summer in another life, I knew you then
Before the world began, before the when
We walked through fields of golden grain
And swore we'd never feel the rain
But the rain came, and the years passed by
And I woke up with tears in my eyes
I don't know your name, I don't know your face
But I miss you from another time and place
(Verse 2)
There was a pier where the boats would sway
And we'd watch the dolphins drift away
You laughed at something I couldn't hear
But the sound of it still feels so near
We drank wine from a chipped glass cup
And watched the sunset never give up
You said, "This moment should never end"
And I pretended it wouldn't, my friend
(Pre-chorus)
I can almost taste the air
And the strawberries in your hair
But when I blink, the scene is gone
And I'm left here, holding on
(Chorus)
Summer in another life, I knew you then
Before the world began, before the when
We walked through fields of golden grain
And swore we'd never feel the rain
But the rain came, and the years passed by
And I woke up with tears in my eyes
I don't know your name, I don't know your face
But I miss you from another time and place
(Bridge)
Was it a dream? Was it a past life?
A parallel world where we did things right?
Somewhere our love didn't fall apart
Somewhere you stayed and held my heart
I see your shadow in crowded rooms
I hear your laugh in the afternoon's blooms
I search for you in every stranger's eyes
But you're just a summer in another life
The sunsets here are beautiful too
But they don't have the same shade of you
I keep living, I keep moving on
But part of me is where you've gone
(Instrumental break – piano and soft strings, emotional and swelling)
(Final chorus – softer, broken, aching)
Summer in another life… we were so close
Before the world decided to impose
We danced in the light, we breathed the air
We had everything, and we didn't care
But the dream faded, the morning came
And I'm here whispering your name
I don't know your name, I don't know your face
But I'll love you from another time and place
(Outro – spoken/sung, whispered)
"Sometimes, when the light is just right…"
"I feel your hand in mine again."
"And for a second…"
"We're still there."
"In that summer."
"In another life."
[Soft piano fading, a warm breeze sound, then silence]
