Verse 1 I packed my doubts in the backseat, let the silence ride shotgun, Chased a horizon painted gold by the setting sun. The highway whispered your name through the cracks in the pavement, Like the earth knew a secret my heart was afraid of saying. There’s a stubborn little fire sleeping under my skin, A quiet kind of wildfire that refuses to end. Some days I swear I’ve buried the flame in the rain, Then one little spark and it remembers my name. A smile in the rearview, a glance held too long, A moment so fragile it feels almost wrong. Tell me, is it just kindness dressed up as a sign? Or are you tracing the same constellations as mine? Pre-Chorus Do I cross your mind when the midnight is blue? Do you look at the moon and wonder if I’m looking too? Are we two lonely headlights on an empty road, Both afraid of the places we secretly hope to go? Chorus Maybe we’re scared of the match, scared of the flame, Scared that the beautiful silence won’t stay the same. So we stand at the edge where the wildflowers grow, Holding the words that we both already know. Because I could keep driving, keep chasing the night, Keep pretending this gravity isn’t pulling me tight. But every road bends, every river runs through, And somehow every direction leads me back to you. Verse 2 I tried to find exits, tried to loosen the thread, Tried convincing my heart it was better left unsaid. But the universe tilted, the planets aligned, And every road sign somehow pointed back to your eyes. Your touch leaves echoes like thunder after rain, Your voice is a melody stuck in my veins. Our conversations are cities I wander at dawn, Places I visit long after you’re gone. And I know you could find someone brighter than me, Someone built like a galaxy, endless and free. I count all my flaws like the stars in the sky, And wonder how someone like you could see mine. Pre-Chorus 2 Maybe I’m just a traveler afraid of the view, Afraid that the sunrise means I’ll fall into you. Because once I stop running, once I let myself stay, There’s no road in this world that could carry me away. Chorus 2 Maybe we’re done being ghosts in the glow, Done being two shadows afraid to get close. The match is still burning, the night’s growing thin, Maybe the fire was waiting for us to begin. I don’t want a memory dressed up as a dream, I don’t want almost, I don’t want in-between. If the sky has been calling, if the stars have been true, Then I’ll risk the whole universe falling for you. Bridge (the build) So strike the match, let the old roads disappear, Let the miles we built turn into souvenirs. Let the fear be the fuel, let the doubt be the smoke, Let the words we swallowed finally learn how to float. I was a desert pretending I didn’t need rain, You were the storm I was praying would come anyway. And if we burn, let us burn like the sun does at dawn, Not because we were broken Because we were born. Final Chorus Now we’re not chasing the fire, We are becoming the flame. Not afraid of the thunder, Not afraid of the change. The road keeps unfolding, the sky opens wide, Your hand finds mine and the stars realign. I spent all my life looking for somewhere to belong, Then I found your heartbeat And realized I’d been driving home all along.
