If Time Had Waited
A reflective song about memory, missed moments and the lives we might have lived.
If time had waited, maybe we’d have known.
01 · Behind the song
Why this song exists.
If Time Had Waited looks back without trying to rewrite what happened. It stays with the unanswered question of how life might have changed if one moment had lasted longer or one decision had arrived sooner.
The song belongs to the reflective final stretch of the album. Memory becomes another landscape to travel through: familiar, altered by distance and impossible to revisit in exactly the same way.

Rain against the window Soft upon the glass Another quiet evening Watching strangers pass You looked up for just a moment Like you’d known me all along Nothing more than silence Still it somehow felt like homeRead full lyrics
