Avalanche Lyrics

18 thousand year old soul
Leader and shooting star
In the place she waits
But she moonlights rock and roll
Play the rain dance with her guitar
Sometimes you only get one chance

You gotta look in your eyes
I knew you in past life
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops
Ships pass in the night
I don't want to wait 'til the next life
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops

Last call and everybody's watching
The voice screams out like a storm
Sometimes the past echoes in the future
Starting long before we were born
Sometimes you only get one chance

You got a look in your eyes
I knew you in past life
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops
Ships pass in the night
I don't want to wait 'til the next life
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops

Universe won't wait for you
It's do or die, whatcha gon, gon, gonna to do

You got a look in your eyes
I knew you pure in past life
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops

You got a look in your eyes
I knew you pure in past life
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops
Ships pass in the night
I don't want to wait 'til the next life
One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops

One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops

One glance and the avalanche drops
One look and my heartbeat stops

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think the song's trying to accentuate how special this chance at love is because the two happened to exist in the same lifetime with everything leading up to him seeing her,and there's this voice screaming out to him to take it,as if it's his own voice but from a past life trying to get him to not make the same mistake again. We're pretty sure he takes the moment. :) This is such a nice song ugh,so upbeat and romantic. "One glance and the avalanche drops / One look and my heartbeat stops" definitely illustrates the gravity of seeing someone you're so in love with. Awesome concept.
