I Thought There'd Be Time - by Bob Muțe

made with Suno V6 and Midjourney v8.2 LYRICS: I thought there'd be time. [Verse 1] I still remember that night in the street Some old jazz playing, you caught me offbeat You had that red hair, those glasses, that smile Didn't think I'd remember it all this while A couple of weeks that went by like a song Never really noticed how fast they were gone Then I packed my bags, headed back to the snow Said I'd see you again, didn't think it'd be long We kept talking, little messages at night Your name on my screen, that familiar light I had a thousand things I wanted to say But I kept telling myself there'd be another day [Pre-Chorus] I thought I'd come back I thought we'd meet I thought the story wasn't finished yet I kept on waiting Kept pushing it back Now I'm wondering what I can't get back [Chorus] I thought there'd be time I thought there'd be time Another chance to see you Another night, another try I thought there'd be time I let the days roll by Now I'm back here wondering What if I'd come back in time? What if I'd come back in time? [Verse 2] Back in the mountains, the days carried on Same old streets when the daylight was gone Work till midnight, then walk through the cold Thinking about things that I never quite told I kept saying soon, yeah, soon I'll be there Like the right moment was waiting somewhere But life doesn't stop just because you're away And some things can change while you're counting the days Now I'm home again, but it don't feel the same Every familiar street brings me back to your name I thought this was the place where we'd pick up again Now I'm walking around like a stranger again [Pre-Chorus] I thought I'd come back I thought we'd meet I thought the story wasn't finished yet I kept on waiting Kept pushing it back Now I'm wondering what I can't get back [Chorus] I thought there'd be time I thought there'd be time Another chance to see you Another night, another try I thought there'd be time I let the days roll by Now I'm back here wondering What if I'd come back in time? What if I'd come back in time? [Verse 3] Maybe you moved on, maybe life's just changed Maybe nothing's wrong, we're just not the same Maybe somewhere out there, you're laughing tonight And I'm just another memory passing you by I don't blame you, no, that's not what I mean You can't hold a place in somebody's dreams I just wish I'd known what I know today That you can't keep a moment by putting it away And if I saw you somewhere, just out on the street Would I know what to say, would we skip a heartbeat? Would we laugh like before, like no time had passed? Or would we both know that we let something pass? [Bridge – Soulful, Melodic] I kept your name folded up in my coat Like a train ticket I never used to go Left it there through the move and the snow Thinking I'd call when the timing felt close But clocks don't care what you meant to say They keep moving on, they don't wait your way Now it's just me and the words I never sent Looking at the door where the whole thing went [Final Chorus – Bigger, Layered Vocals] I thought there'd be time I thought there'd be time Another chance to see you Another night, another try I thought there'd be time I let the days roll by Now I'm back here wondering What if I'd come back in time? I thought there'd be time But time don't wait in line And if I ever see you again I won't leave it all to time I won't leave it all to time [Outro – Beat Fades, Warm Vocal] That night in the street... That song we heard... Your smile behind those glasses... I thought there'd be time. Yeah... I really thought there'd be time.
