But the echoes of your laughter,
They linger in my chest,
And I’m chasing every shadow,
Trying to fix the mess."
Jake’s bass hums beneath the melody, steady and grounding, while Xayden’s drums come in light, a heartbeat that matches the rhythm of my own pulse.
Todd’s voice grows stronger, filled with raw emotion, and I feel every word like it’s meant for me.
"Second chances don’t come easy,
But I’ll take what I can find.
I’m holding on, I’m reaching out,
Trying to turn back time.
You’re the melody I’ve been missing,
The note I can’t replace.
And I’ll keep singing this song for you,
‘Til you take your place."
The lights dim slightly, casting the stage in a warm glow, and West steps closer to the mic, his voice softer but just as resonant.
"You were the light in all my darkness,
The truth I couldn’t see.
I let the silence fill the spaces
Where your voice was meant to be."
His voice cracks slightly, the rawness of the moment hitting him—and me—like a tidal wave.
Todd joins him on the chorus, their voices blending seamlessly, filling the stadium with a sound so full it’s almost unbearable.
"Second chances don’t come easy,
But I’ll take what I can find.
I’m holding on, I’m reaching out,
Trying to turn back time.
You’re the melody I’ve been missing,
The note I can’t replace.
And I’ll keep singing this song for you,
‘Til you take your place."
The final notes linger in the air, fading slowly, as if they don’t want to let go. The crowd erupts, the cheers and applause hit me full force, buzzing under my skin..
