Verse 1
The road was quiet outside your town
Dust on my boots, sun going down
You said “be safe” like you always do
Like we both knew what the night would choose

Pre-Chorus
I keep your voice in the cracks of my mind
Like a song that plays when I’m out of time

Chorus
Under fading skies we learned to stay
When everything good was slipping away
We were young, broke, and barely trying
But we meant every word we were saying
And if I lose myself tonight
I know where I was when I felt alive

Verse 2
Your dad’s old truck by the county line
We talked like we had all the time
You laughed and said “don’t overthink”
But I always did, and I still do, I think

Pre-Chorus
Some love don’t leave, it just goes quiet
Like a fire that lives in the smoke

Chorus
Under fading skies we learned to stay
When everything good was slipping away
We were young, broke, and barely trying
But we meant every word we were saying
And if I lose myself tonight
I know where I was when I felt alive

Bridge
If you ever drive back through this place
And the air feels heavy, the light feels strange
Just know I never outran
The part of me that was your man

Final Chorus
Under fading skies I’m standing still
With the ghosts of dreams I never killed
It wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t clean
But it was real, and it was me
And if you wonder who I am now
I’m the sum of us, somehow
