[Instrumental Intro: Echoing Piano Chords, Soft Guitar Swells, Ambient Wind Texture]
[Verse 1]
Empty pockets, crowded mind
Searching for what’s hard to find
Names and faces fade away
Like they never meant to stay
Footsteps echo down the hall
Answering no one when I call
Every turn I take feels wrong
Like I’ve been drifting far too long
[Pre-Chorus]
But somewhere in the static air
A signal hums, I swear it’s there
A fragile thread I almost missed
Pulling me back into this
[Chorus]
Lost (a chord)
Lost (accord)
Lost (all around)
Lost (and found)
[Instrumental Break: Sparse Piano, Rising Strings]
[Verse 2]
Broken maps and faded ink
Standing right there on the brink
Every exit looks the same
Every door forgets my name
But in the quiet I can hear
A rhythm cutting through the fear
Something steady, something real
A truth I almost didn’t feel
[Pre-Chorus]
Like a spark beneath the snow
Like a place I used to know
Every fragment starts to mend
Telling me I’ll find the end
[Chorus]
Lost (a chord)
Lost (accord)
Lost (all around)
Lost (and found)
[Bridge]
Found (the sound)
Bound (to rebound)
Coming (back along)
Coming (back strong)
[Instrumental Bridge: Warm Guitar Lead, Building Drums, Expanding Harmony]
[Verse 3]
Pieces lift off from the ground
Spinning into something found
Every scar begins to glow
In the places pain once showed
What was gone is not erased
Only waiting in its place
Every wrong turns into right
In the turning of the night
[Final Chorus]
Lost (a chord)
Lost (accord)
Lost (all around)
Lost (and found)
Found (the sound)
Found (the ground)
Lost no more
(Unlike before)
Lost no more
[Outro]
[Soft piano reprise, fading wind]
Lost… and found…
Lost… and found…
Everything comes back around
(Around and found)
