Hey Joshua,
Really good ideas. I think on version 2, there are too many segments.
I like the verse and bridge/chorus but the last segment that seems to be the chorus feels a little weeker than the others. Maybe it is the higher pitch of the melody but I was really with you until that hook.
I would also consider using the the words "I think" instead of "maybe" like in "I think we've gone too far..."
Good job and good ideas all around.
