The moment explodes

[Beth]

The engine stops

The plane drops

The moment explodes

A sudden rush

A brute hush

And the moment explodes

[Beth & Architect]

The moment explodes

[Beth]

Into thoughts of all the things I've left undone

And flashes from a life I've just begun

[Beth & Architect]

Every friend I ever knew, or thought I did

The love that I could give, the love I hid

[Architect]

Every stupid, life-before-your-eyes cliche

Could I please go out some less expected way?

[Beth]

But none alive or dying crack those codes

When the moment explodes

The staircase dips

The foot trips

The moment explodes

[Passenger]

The dark road curves

The car swerves

And the moment explodes

[All Passengers]

And the moment explodes

[Another Passenger]

And it reaches to the future and the past

To every moment ever, first to last

[Flight Attendant]

And every life I reached, but could not touch

[Flight Attendant & Third Passenger]

And everyone I loved, or loved too much

[All Passengers]

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

[Beth]

Once the moment

[Beth, Flight Attendant & Architect]

When the moment

[Beth, Flight Attendant, Architect & All Passengers]

When the moment

[Passenger]

The engine stops

The plane drops

The moment explodes
