WHERE WE BEGAN // Ft. Braylon B

[Intro - soft piano, distant warehouse ambience] [Male Lead - intimate] Dust in the sunlight Shoes on the floor Music through the walls Like we'd been here before I remember your face Before everything changed [Hook Preview] Take me back To where we began [Verse 1] We were running through the echoes Like the night would never end Broken windows caught the colors We were strangers turning friends No tomorrow in our pockets No reason to pretend Every heartbeat hit the concrete And the room became our world [Pre-Chorus] Before the distance Before goodbye Before we learned How fast time flies If I could hold One moment again— I'd go back To where we began [Chorus] Take me back to where we began Before the lights went out Before we lost the feeling We couldn't live without Take me back to where we began When nothing felt too far [Lead] Do you remember? [Crowd Response] WE'RE STILL HERE! [Male Lead] Then meet me where we are [Build A - rising arp, snares building] One room One night One memory Still alive Take me back— [Inhale] To where we began [Drop A - Anthem Win] [Instrumental euphoric supersaw melody] [Vocal Chops] Back... Back... Where we began... [Post-Drop] [Crowd] WE'RE STILL HERE! [Verse 2] Now the building looks much smaller Than the place inside my head But I still hear every footstep Every word we never said Maybe growing means remembering Without living in the past Maybe nothing lasts forever But forever doesn't have to last [Pre-Chorus 2] If every ending Leaves something behind Then maybe we never Really lost that night Close your eyes Can you feel it again? Take me back To where we began [Chorus 2] Take me back to where we began Before the lights went out Before we lost the feeling We couldn't live without Take me back to where we began I know we've come this far [Lead] Do you remember? [Crowd Response] WE NEVER LEFT! [Male Lead] It's still inside our hearts [Drop B - Collision Win] [Sharper street-dance percussion] [Evolved lead rhythm] [Rhythmic vocal chops] Where... We... Began... [Crowd] WE NEVER LEFT! [Piano Breakdown - near dry] [Male Lead - close] Maybe I don't want the past back. Maybe I just want to remember who I was when I still believed anything could happen. [Piano pause] And maybe... That part of me never disappeared. [Final Build] [Soft] Take me back... [Rising] Take me back... [Crowd - distant] Where we began... [Male Lead] No. Don't take me back. [Music strips away] Bring it back to me. [Inhale] [Crowd] RIGHT HERE! [Final Drop - Worlds Converge] [Massive euphoric supersaws] [Main melody returns] [New soaring countermelody] [Choir harmony] [Male Lead] Where we began! [Crowd] RIGHT HERE! [Male Lead] Everything we were— [Crowd] STILL HERE! [Male Lead + Choir] We don't need to go back To feel alive again! [Final Chorus] Take me back to where we began Then bring me home again Every night we thought we'd lost Was waiting underneath our skin Take me back to where we began But leave the past behind [Crowd] WE'RE STILL HERE! [Male Lead] And this time... So am I. [Outro - piano, warehouse reverb] [Male Lead - soft] I thought I missed the place. Turns out... I missed who I was there. [Final piano note]
