Lyrics
[Intro – gentle acoustic guitar strums, soft shaker]
Morning light spills through the screen
Birds hum low, a quiet scene
[Verse 1 – steady guitar rhythm, subtle bass line]
We left the old streets far behind
Carry maps drawn with our own kind
Scuffed up shoes and a pocket full of change
No need to rush, no need to explain
[Pre-Chorus – layered vocal harmonies, light piano arpeggios]
Every turn feels like a first hello
Every breath a chance to grow
[Chorus – full band swell, bright tambourine]
We've only just begun to live
Paths to take, stars to give
Open skies and unwritten pages
Every day a new stage
[Verse 2 – fingerpicked guitar, soft drum brush taps]
We found a bench where the oak trees bend
Shared a laugh that wouldn't end
Scratched our names in the weathered wood
Promised we'd always do what we could
[Pre-Chorus – elevated harmonies, building piano]
Every scar tells a story yet to bloom
Every quiet night chases away the gloom
[Chorus – richer instrumentation, soaring vocals]
We've only just begun to live
Fires to light, bridges to give
Warm winds and unbroken cages
Every day a new stage
[Bridge – stripped-back acoustic, intimate vocals]
No need to fear the unknown road
Our hearts are the only load
We'll take it slow, we'll take it far
Wherever the current are
[Solo – melodic acoustic guitar solo, soft reverb]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Chorus – full band climax, layered harmonies]
We've only just begun to live
Dreams to chase, love to give
Wide horizons and unspoken ages
Every day a new stage
[Outro – fading guitar, whispered harmonies]
Morning light still on our skin
We've only just begun to live
