A story of two people in the spiral and their brief encounters with each other in different timelines...

[Intro ]
I knew you before I knew your name…

From a foreign land's sunset, eighteen hundred years ago
Your hands were stained with pigment, painting murals in the glow
Our eyes met through the marketplace, a single breath, no more
But something in my heart knew I'd loved you once before

I reached for you through centuries, my fingertips like smoke
Then the vision scattered sideways and I shattered when I woke

[Chorus]
We meet and then we lose again
A thousand brief forevers, never knowing when
Your face changes but your soul remains
Across the spinning centuries, through joy and war and rain

I found you in a photograph from nineteen forty-two
A stranger's dusty attic, but I recognized your truth
You wore a nurse's uniform, your smile tired but bright
I swear I felt your phantom hand holding mine that night

How many times we've almost touched across the fold of years?
How many final glances lost to lifetimes and to tears?

We are rivers running parallel but never meant to merge
We are harmonies that only meet from a star's urge
Some cosmic wound keeps bleeding us across the universe
Is this a blessing or a curse?

[Chorus]
We meet and then we lose again
A thousand brief forevers, never knowing when
Your voice changes but the frequency remains
Across the burning centuries, through empires and through flames

One second is enough to feel infinite again
One touch unlocks the library of everywhere we've been
And I'll find you, I'll find you, I'll find you, my friend
Until the wheel stops spinning and beginning meets the end

What if this time… we don't let go?

What if we find the light to hold?

I'm tired of waking up alone with just your ghost

I'm tired of only loving what I'm always losing most

[Chorus]
We meet and this time we remain
A thousand brief forevers now becoming one again
Your eyes haven't changed, I know them like my own
Across the spinning centuries, I'm finally coming home

I found you, I found you, I found you again
And time itself is bowing as forever now begins

A Thousand Brief Forevers
