[One beat of silence after “And there she was.”] It’s her -
[Verse 1 - Sky’s reality] Corner of the park, another afternoon Same six strings, same open-sky room No tips in the case today, that’s fine by me I play because stopping never felt free
[Verse 2] I had the lessons once, I had the stage But the rent came due before I turned the page So I brought it all out here with nothing to prove Just me and the music finding room to move
[Pre-Chorus] I’d heard there was a girl Going room to room, name to name Looking for the ones who play Not for the deal but for something real
[Chorus] It’s her - Standing right there across the grass It’s her - I’d know that look, I’d know that stance She’s been searching, I’ve been playing Both of us just trying to find Something worth staying And now she’s here. And so am I.
[Verse 3 - Sky keeps playing, knowing] I don’t look up, I don’t stop I let the next chord do what words cannot If this is the moment, let the music speak The strings know what they mean better than me
[Bridge] I’ve been on this corner since the rent ran out I’ve been on this corner since the last door closed Never stopped playing, never stopped hoping That someone who matters would hear it
[Acoustic solo][Melodic Solo]
[Chorus] It’s her - Standing right there across the grass It’s her - I’d know that look, I’d know that stance She’s been searching, I’ve been playing Both of us just trying to find Something worth staying And now she’s here. And so am I.
[Build] And now she’s walking over And I’m still playing like I’m alone Because the music is the only honest thing I own
[Outro] She stops. She listens.
I play one more bar.
And then I look up.
[CODA][Slow][hopeful][almost whispering] String - sting, been playing around the block String - sting, no one listened before, no one stopped I just played and played like nothing was at stake Every note a little different, every pause a little break I was never polished, I never had a plan I was just looking to play my feelings, my story, my truth String - sting, Will I finally be able to tell it - String - sting, I feel like this is the beginning - String - sting, felt their gaze, heard them whispering String - sting, will the sting finally stop and fulfill my calling
String - sting Blinking, just checking, if I’m dreaming…
I play one more bar.
And then I took her hand.
