The First Sentence (Remix)

(Soft acoustic guitar melody)

(Light percussion enters)

Yeah, it started with a whisper

In the quiet of the dashboard glow

Just two strangers

With a long way to go

The rain was tapping on the windowpane

We were parked beneath the streetlights in the dark

I didn't know your name, I didn't know the game

But I felt a sudden flicker, then a spark

You turned the key but didn't start the engine yet

You looked at me and set the scene in stone

I still recall the way you spoke, the best I've ever met

The sweetest sound that I have ever known

It was just a sentence, simple and low

But it changed the rhythm, it changed the flow

That first sentence echoed in the quiet air

Caught me off guard, yeah, you took me there

We met in a car, under city light

Everything shifted, everything felt right

Yeah, that first hello is where we start

Leaving an imprint right here on my heart

We talked for hours while the radio played low

Tracing constellations on the ceiling roof

Time stood still, I didn't want to let it go

Watching how the chemistry became the proof

Of something deeper than a chance encounter

Building up a future out of lines you said

I keep the memory like a mountain

Replaying every word inside my head

It was just a sentence, simple and low

But it changed the rhythm, it changed the flow

That first sentence echoed in the quiet air

Caught me off guard, yeah, you took me there

We met in a car, under city light

Everything shifted, everything felt right

Yeah, that first hello is where we start

Leaving an imprint right here on my heart

Some people need a lifetime to find the truth

Some people need a sign from high above

We just needed a seat and the simple youth

Of a conversation turning into love

It wasn't complicated, it wasn't planned

Just the way you looked and reached for my hand

So here we are, down the road from where we began

The car is different but the feeling stays the same

I'm still your biggest fan, you're still the only man

Who knows the melody that goes behind my name

I smile when I think of that parking lot

Of the way the world seemed to fade away

Whatever else we lose or whatever we've got

I'm holding onto what you had to say

It was just a sentence, simple and low

But it changed the rhythm, it changed the flow

That first sentence echoed in the quiet air

Caught me off guard, yeah, you took me there

We met in a car, under city light

Everything shifted, everything felt right

Yeah, that first hello is where we start

Leaving an imprint right here on my heart

Just that first sentence

Still playing on repeat

In the car, on the street

Yeah, that first hello

It never gets old

(Fade out with soft guitar)
