Fading Echoes

*(Verse 1)*
I was young, the days were long
We built castles in the sun
By the river, where we swam
Time would pass, but we'd never run
Now the fields are silent still
And the water doesn’t flow the same
All the faces I once knew
Faded out like whispered names
*(Chorus)*
Time, it slips away
Like a shadow at the end of day
All the memories I hold dear
Turn to echoes I no longer hear
I’m chasing ghosts of who I was
Through the years that built these scars
But time just fades, it won’t rewind
I can’t go back, I can’t find—
The pieces of the life I left behind
*(Verse 2)*
Every road I used to walk
Now feels foreign underfoot
All the laughter, all the talk
Left in places where we stood
The friends I swore would never change
Are strangers walking down the street
We grew up, but in a way
We lost the innocence we used to keep
*(Chorus)*
Time, it slips away
Like a shadow at the end of day
All the memories I hold dear
Turn to echoes I no longer hear
I’m chasing ghosts of who I was
Through the years that built these scars
But time just fades, it won’t rewind
I can’t go back, I can’t find—
The pieces of the life I left behind
*(Bridge)*
And the stars we wished upon
Still shine, but we’ve moved on
I close my eyes to see
The world we made, the world we lost, in memory
*(Chorus)*
Time, it slips away
Like a shadow at the end of day
All the memories I hold dear
Turn to echoes I no longer hear
I’m chasing ghosts of who I was
Through the years that built these scars
But time just fades, it won’t rewind
I can’t go back, I can’t find—
The pieces of the life I left behind
*(Outro)*
I can’t go back, I can’t find—
The life I lost, the child inside.
