[Intro – soft, lingering piano melody] Streetlamp hums through the rain Your old scarf still hangs by the pane [Verse 1 – tender piano, subtle string swells] I still keep the ticket stub from that summer show The ink’s run thin but the memory won’t let go I trace the cracks in the sidewalk where we used to walk Waiting for the echo of your laugh to talk [Pre-Chorus – rising string tension, quiet yearning] The clock ticks slow but I don’t mind the wait I know the stars are guiding you back to my fate [Chorus 1 – full piano and strings, warm hopefulness] The doorway still glows with the light we left on I know your heart’s still beating where my love belongs No distance can dim the fire we started young Someday soon, our footsteps will meet as one [Interlude, Instrumental Solo – gentle piano solo with soft string accompaniment] [Verse 2 – soft piano, delicate vocal harmonies] I found the mix tape you made me in the back of a drawer The songs still play like you’re right here, asking for more I sit on the porch where we watched the fireflies dance Counting the days till I feel your glance [Pre-Chorus 2 – swelling strings, growing anticipation] The wind carries your scent through the autumn air I know you’re closer than the distance we bear [Chorus 2 – layered strings, more powerful vocals, bright hope] The doorway still glows with the light we left on I know your heart’s still beating where my love belongs No time can wear the promise we whispered young Someday soon, our footsteps will meet as one [Bridge – sparse piano, vulnerable yet steady] I’ve walked through cold nights and empty dawns But I never lost faith in where we belong Every tear’s a seed that’s waiting to bloom When you walk through that door, we’ll chase the moon [Final Chorus – full orchestral swell, soaring hopefulness] The doorway still glows with the light we left on I know your heart’s still beating where my love belongs No storm can break the bond we wove so young Right now soon, our footsteps will meet as one [Outro – fading piano, soft string fade] The doorway still glows Our love still grows
