Song Lyrics

The engine stops
The plane drops
The moment explodes

A sudden rush
A brute hush
And the moment explodes

The moment explodes

Into thoughts of all the things I've left undone
And flashes from a life I've just begun

Every friend I ever knew, or thought I did
The love that I could give, the love I hid

Every stupid, life-before-your-eyes cliche
Could I please go out some less expected way?

But none alive or dying crack those codes
When the moment explodes

The staircase dips
The foot trips
The moment explodes

The dark road curves
The car swerves
And the moment explodes

And the moment explodes

And it reaches to the future and the past
To every moment ever, first to last

And every life I reached, but could not touch

And every life I reached, but could not touch

And everyone I loved, or loved too much

And every chance I took, or did not make
Connections that I made, or did not make
But I'll never take those turns to other roads

Once the moment

When the moment

When the moment

The engine stops
The plane drops
The moment explodes

Brian Yorkey, Thomas Kitt
